The Importance Of Knowledge In Ayn Rand's Anthem

As time passes humanity's unsatiable thirst for knowledge grows drastically. This thirst; however, is detrimental to society. Although many believe that infinite knowlege would be beneficial, too much knowleged is actually detrimental because it brings forth death, and interferes with nature.
Many people believe that making knowledge finite would inevitably lead to a regression of advancements, and believe infinite knowledge is beneficial.

"Anthem" by Ayn Rand portrays these sentiments. Within the book people are purposefully maintianed ignorant. Limiting knowledge would not create this society. It would only prevent the destruction of humanity.The limitation of knowledge would only be applied to extreme cases. Sciences relating life should remain elisive and vague. Such as the search for the Elixir of life. If only extreme searches for knowlegde are limited then society will continue progressing. It will not regress as drastically as

predicted.
Too much knowledge brings for forth death, therefore, it is detrimental. As it is seen within Mary shelley's novel "Frankenstein" Victor's posession of too much knowledge causes the elimination of all of his loved ones. If Victor had never possessed the knowlegde of creating life his family would have remained alive. The creation of the monster brought death unto his family instead of laud.
Another detriment of too much knowledge, is that it also interferes with nature producing harm where it was intended to aide. Nowadays the possesion of too much knowledge has lead to expirments in genetic modifications and cloning. If people and living things are modified genetically our genes and DNA could be drastically altered creating mutations. These mutations would interfere with human nature. They would result in the production of horibly deformed beings, rejected by society and nature itself. Human cloning could lead to an overpopulation. As Earth stands now too many children are being born. It is ignornat to produce more beings when too many exist. Human cloning would provoke an overpopulation and arouse various moral debates. The Earth would also be stripped of its natural resources, resulting in the elimination of our species.
As the evidence provided demonstrates, too much knowledge is detrimental becuase it brings forth death, and interferes with nature. Contrary to popular belief it the limitation of knowledege will not formulate a society of ignorance.
