When science as we now know it started to emerge it was widely considered at the time that scientists were in some sense mad. Hence the term mad scientist, scientists and madness were synoymous.

Scientists tend to imagine themselves to be humanists or individuals who possess a superior regard for the well-being of humankind. Indeed, organized groups of scientists commonly promote themselves as a kind of indpendently superior and humanistic conscience, whereas in fact their general effect on the world is often quite the opposite. At the very least their influence is no more superior or unltimately beneficial than that of any other organized and socially powerful point of view, past or present.

It is possible to be a proficient scientist with very few positive human qualities in evidence. You can be a totally degenerate, corrupt, maniacal personality, absolutely dissociated in your behavior, filled with illusions and negative, cynical views, and still be a scientist.

Where at the present time in the disposition of the usual scientist can you find the Wisdom that could prevent the destruction of the world. You may find some who would not be inclined towards certain kinds of destruction, but their humanism is not sufficient to prevent the destruction of Earth, nor is their humanist disposition sufficient to make human life really worth living.

Daffy Duck,
If the scientists had as much sense as they have ability to create weird & wonderful things then they wouldn't release many of their creations because of the 100% chance of misuse.
