Thread: Is the human race ready to learn about the secrets of the universe?

I don't really understand your reasoning. Humans have destructive and wasteful instincts, but that never stopped our instinct of curiosity or desire to figure things out. Albert Einstein did some of his hardest work on general relativity during World War II.

I'm saying before we continue feed our insatiable appetite for knowledge we should look around and realize that the state of the world is grim and we should focus on helping some really miserable people so they can help with solving the puzzle. If we live in a world with half of the population suffering and half trying to understand the universe we are probably going to get half-truths, pseudo-science, and pseudo-religion.
