I have been browsing this work for hours in the past two weeks . Amazing how many famous and not so famous scientists were unhappy , miserable , often SUICIDAL souls . In the future I will comment on them. . Was H.P. Lovecraft right about too much knowledge leading ultimately to " the horror " and insanity ?
FAMOUS LOVECRAFT QUOTE :
[“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”]
