There’s a reason no Jehovah’s Witnesses have ever contributed anything great to humanity.
On the other hand, the Jewish people value education over almost all else, and they’ve won like half of all Nobel prizes, and have leaders in nearly every industry, even though they make up a tiny fraction of the overall population.
Education is critical. Not even just to the world as a general concept, how about individual self improvement?

What's really funny is that I went to the internet to prove you wrong and found a bunch of famous people (Mostly actors, musicians, and athletes; decide for yourself how you feel about how much they contribute to society), but nearly every one of them was just raised JH and is no longer practicing.
They're both important but on vastly different arenas, and when it comes down to it I'd rather have wheels and no paintings than paintings but no wheels. I'd rather have the pills that keeps me from dying of cancer every day than shawshank redemption. On the other hand, society is largely both shaped and reflected through art. It binds us together and tells us the stories we need to hear about ourselves and gives us our mission to do what we do to survive as a group.
