Well, I remembered next: 'For with much wisdom comes much sorrow, and as knowledge grows, grief increases' (Ecclesiastes). Well, that's probably right: those who're at the top of the pyramid of knowledge are eating antidepressants in buckets.
It's horrible. After all, humanity - from the countless accumulation of knowledge - can go nuts!!! Or delegate everything to AGI! And this is also dangerous: http://lj.rossia.org/users/wieiner_/659323.html?nc=5 I think that Dougin is right to some extent with his theory of the ‘new Middle Ages’... that is, don't you think it'd be better for us to go back to the time of Arkady Gaidar, when people only cared about thirst for blood, bread and sex? Or, speaking in a Heideggerian way, it is necessary to free human existence from the clutter of knowledge
about the world as a dead space and stochastic fluctuations. Or, like, (according to Anton Chekhov) let be ‘a huge plain run by a dashing man'.

Yes I think returning to new dark ages would be
a relatively good think a least mental-health-wise.

But I don't think we should to return to the age
before the stone age, the age than all humans were
animals!

At this age all human actions was based on survival
needs and sheer instincts. And there were no need, to
look for any pseudo-intellectual answers to justify your
actions, because there were only one option all the time.
