Here’s what I took from this strip. Knowledge is dangerous, because,even when people are primed for it, it spreads quickly, and indiscriminately to everyone, bringing about sweeping changes in the makeup of the landscape. The wise man therefore squashes it, with his closed bucket of “all necessary knowledge” because he has the moral authority to decide what we should and shouldn’t know.

Pretty MORAL outlook to me.
