I'm not against gaining knowledge, just taking perspective on application and cost.

'pure' may not have been the best word choice.

it may always seem that many hungry children can be fed if only collectively humanity is contended to be a little more ignorant.    that logical conclusion is we should devoting all make everyone’s bellies full and the cost of not equipping ourselves to deal with the certainty that of all we have is our current knowledge, the day when we may all starve will arrive more surely and sooner.

Hungry children, hunger in general, never crossed my mind.
