Observation on CthulhuThe 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 the 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 disassociated knowledge will open up terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.H. P. Lovecraft, the opening paragraph of the story Call of Cthulhu. Now isn't it wonderful to think that the miracle of computers is slowly letting us piece together all the bits of disassociated knowledge into one grand lexicon that will eventual foretell the fall of our own civilization. |
