I cringed when you mentioned Auschwitz, E'.

"I owe it as a scientist to my friend Leo Szilard, I owe it as a human being to the many members of my family who died at Auschwitz, to stand here by the pond as a survivor and a witness. We have to cure ourselves of the itch for absolute knowledge and power. We have to close the distance between the push-button order and the human act. We have to touch people." (Jacob Bronowski)

On the 'knowledge' part, I think that we do need to know... may hinder that absolute itch for power.
