"Science has promised us truth. It has never promised us peace or happiness."
Gustave Le Bon
Gustave Le Bon
I love this quote. I think we will someday will be able to answer all the unknown questions we have by the means of science. But it doesn't mean that we will like what we find.
Interesting side note: Gustave Le Bon was well known for his theories on crowd psychology (The theory that ordinary people can gain direct power by acting collectively). It is argued that his theories widely influenced fascist ideology in the 1920s, making him a direct influence on Hitler and Mussolini.
