Redeem?  No, that term hearkens back to original sin against some deity.   

I'm unwilling to even use the word "sin".  Although - - humans are scum.  Really.  We are horribly selfish creatures.  The quest for power robs us of empathy.  Our basic nature is violent, tribal, xenophobic.  We instinctively judge, hate change, and hate anything we don't understand.

So . . . redeem?  Save the planet and the species, and all the tree-hugger stuff?

EDUCATION.    

Scientific, sociological, psychological, anthropological, historical . . . don't forget artistic . . . 

EDUCATION.
