[zzwrgihc] Astronomy and insanity

If there's ever a field that should make you feel very, very small, that nothing you ever do will ever do will ever matter in the big picture, it should be astronomy.  In particular, even the most massive amount of harm you could possibly cause still amounts to next to nothing.

Nevertheless, we don't see a pattern of astronomers seemingly going batshit insane and becoming mass murders or terrorists.
