This is a non-statement. The reverse is also true.

I have no control over the technology that others use.

Whereas I have direct control over my own morality.

When asking for moral progress rather then technological progress, it's not an inverse.

People can build technology, or I can build technology, but we generally all get it. Its distribution requires nothing of me or others psychologically.

You can't just build and distribute morality, and adopting it is a massive personal change.
