Mind rending knowledge is a silly concept to me. The eldritch causing one to question the nature of reality seems laughable. I *already* question reality constantly, and I *already* have mental health issues related to the *mundane*, the nature of humanity is far more unhinging than the idea of a universe full of monsters who care not for our existence.

@enkiv2 These are very solid comments! I don't have much to add beyond them, except to say thank you for making them!

@BigFatFae You may enjoy Ruthanna Emrys' short story "The Litany of Earth" and recent followup novel Winter Tide, in which Deep One survivors of the Innsmouth raid take comfort in the knowledge that the universe is big, they are ephemeral, and the Yith are writing everything down.
