Abstract
Can there be "forbidden"--or, as I prefer, "inopportune" knowledge? Could
there be knowledge, the possession of which, at a given time and stage of social
development, would be inimical to human welfare-and even fatal to the further
accumulation of knowledge? Could it be that just as the information latent
in the genome of a developing organism must be revealed in an orderly pattern,
else disaster ensue, so must our knowledge of the universe be acquired in a
measured order, else disaster ensue?
