Eldritch insanity level enlightement.

Imagine, you're a medieval professor, believing in geocentrism as the bible says, world is ours to take, human important and all that.
And then you learn that you're a mere moving something among billions others, that accidentally came to be on a speck of dust in the vast emptiness of the universe.

Isn't that a form of outmost torture in the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy series? That you have to experience how tiny and insignificant you truly are.

This is just propaganda from Satan's PR team, they just don't want it widely known that he accepts good soup as an alternative payment!

“It was really good soup.”- satan.

[–] model_tar_gz@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago

Fun fact: the scientist’s name was Adam, and the soup was primordial.

I actually think it would be pretty painful having all the knowledge.

If you had all the knowledge in the world, you'd also know how to be happy, or maybe even how to generate electricity. After all, knowledge is power.

I dunno if that's worth it. That's some pricy knowledge
