The immoderate, indiscriminate drive for knowledge, along with its historical background, is a sign that life has grown old: there is a serious danger that individuals are becoming inferior, which is why their interests are so passionately attached to objects of knowledge, regardless of which ones. The universal drives have become so feeble that they no longer keep the individual in check.
