There are no doubt some negative consequences where the more knowledgeable and powerful have taken advantage of people in ways that I do not morally support, but for the most part you cannot deny the overwhelming positive effects of increased knowledge on humankind overall. As for our significance...tt's just the way you look at it I suppose...as a glass half-full or half-empty. When you compare humans with 'the infinity of universe and time', it's easy to get lost in how much knowledge we have failed to discover thus far...but if you really consider how far we have come from being cavemen...by mastering our surroundings with the power of the mind, the power of individuality, the human race has much to be proud of.
