Foreseen times

-The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of human kind to correlate all its content. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in it's own direction, have hitherto harmed us little: but some day the piecing
together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
- HP Lovecraft
