Kinda makes me wonder how earlier humans felt. They didn't understand anything scientific. How much of the world gave them that level of angst?
Based on the Creationists I know, ignorance really is bliss. They're all way fucking happier not knowing. My dog is happier not knowing. I often think about how the only successful evolutionary response to increased knowledge (or increased success of any kind, really) is increased ego. Narcissistic sociopaths can cope with this shit, meaning in a few hundred generations we'll all have to be narcisisstic sociopaths. Evolution favors being a dick.
