At first I thought you were just being flippantamuffin - but when I thought about it, yes, it's true. Education led to developing nuclear weapons. Education led to modern industry which led to burning greater and greater amounts of fossil fuels which has caused climate change. That quote was from The Outline of History published in 1920 -- before nuclear weapons and before an awareness of climate change -- makes me to suspect that Wells might have meant ethical education. Looking further into Wells writings and quotations, I'm finding some fascinating thoughts.
