The worst thing about wanting to know everything is that the more you know, you start to comprehend that you actually know nothing.

That’s been my problem.
When I was young I thought, “Man, I’m intelligent and I’m surrounded by idiots. I want to learn. They don’t.
Now, I’m just an idiot among idiots.

Not sure that’s the worst thing. The humility that brings is one of the most profound discoveries someone can make imo. You can almost feel it in people of high intellect that have tried to know everything about almost anything. Realizing this allows you to recognize that arrogance always equals ignorance.

Or the more you know the worse and worse the world seems and your only gift for that knowledge is pain

The funny part about that is you eventually come back around.
The vast majority of humanity is doing their part. Most in small ways and few in ways that change the world every day.
Humanity will always prevail with the general masses benefiting no matter how many scummy people try to exploit us, the earth, and eventually other solar bodies.

Capitalism is the mid point between Feudalism and Socialism.

Depends on what you’re knowing. The world only starts to look worse and worse when you learn more about geopolitics and climate change. I’ve never had new knowledge about orbital mechanics or lockpicking or 3d printing give me a negative outlook on life, except for the fact that most people don’t know how things orbit, don’t know how vulnerable their front door is, and think 3d printed guns are something to be worried about
