It's a good thought, but I think history shows that humans care more about knowing Truth and being Right than making the world better for everyone. The part of my education that I still need to learn is how humans fall short of the ideals, and how to build governments and policies that treat people as people instead of angels.
“It appears that a belief in free will may make people smarter, better at learning, better on the job, more ethical and more helpful to others. If more people believed in free will it appears the world would be a better place. So maybe we should be putting more energy into a question of greater utility than whether free will is ‘real’ or not, and trying to work out how to get more people to believe in free will? Unfortunately, a lot of activity in science and religion seems to be working in the opposite direction.”
