I don't think "truth" is all that important. CMV

What's so great about having a great, deep, profound understanding of the universe and its workings? Animals have no idea about religion, science, art, philosophy, modern medicine, technology, etc, and yet they live and die just fine. They each accomplish what they need to to keep the natural order going for another generation. 

I mean, even if they didn't, what would it really matter?

Everyone from Carl Sagan to Mr Rogers tells us how great it is to be curious and want to learn as much as possible about as much as possible. Well, why? What's so terrible about not knowing stuff? Jellyfish don't know stuff and they live alright and pass on genes alright and have been floating around for millions and millions of years alright.

Humans, on the other hand, know all kinds of stuff and it doesn't seem to be helping get off this "Oh no, we're going to destroy ourselves" ledge. 

What's so bad about having a simple, jellyfish-like understanding of the world? Seems to work alright for the jellyfish. In fact, it seems ignorance has worked out a whole lot better for them than knowledge has for us.

So what good is it?

I'll definitely agree with you that animals do a great job of dying, as you've pointed out.  Is that our goal though?  To "die just fine on our own"?  If you were in cardiac arrest, would you rather the doctor use the defibrillator that our search for truth has allowed us to create, or would you prefer to die just fine on your own?  Similarly, if we hadn't ever cared about truth, you wouldn't be sitting there simultaneously asking people from all over the world for their thoughts on it instantaneously...do you really see no value in that?  Because considering that you took advantage of that ability and decided to do it, it appears that you've already accepted the value of such an ability.
