How we choose to utilise our knowledge or lack thereof is on us, not on the little bit of knowledge we do have.
Even if we didn't have knowledge, it wouldn't prevent us from doing what we see as bad things. You can find such behavior everywhere in nature. However our knowledge does enable us to control ourselves.
Do you get what I am saying? I am not talking about true or false. I am simply saying, sometimes people have false beliefs that they feel are justified, right or wrong. Whenever anyone comes to a conclusion and believes they know everything there is to know, they make more and more unjustified predictions. So, I'm talking about a subjective knowledge and you are talking about an objective one. The problem is that people can subjectively decide that their knowledge is objective, making it an absolute truth.
