Is The Knowledge of the End Worse Than The End Itself?

...So we can see our supposed destruction and yet we do nothing? We know what is supposedly coming, and yet we live as we have?
If Quinn is so brilliant and sees these problems so clearly, and if all that he proposes if true, then the conclusion is horrible- We are doomed. So, are we doomed to die, or is the real death in the knowledge that we will no longer live. If Quinn really believed all of the things that he wrote, then he'd be one scared man. If all that knowledge was truth in someone's head, I can't imagine that they'd want to go on living. No, I'm not advocating suicide, and I'm not saying I hate Quinn or that I wish he would die (I don't) I just find it amazing that he and others seem to know all of these horrible things and yet keep on living, knowing what is to come.
