I disagree. As many intellectuals and spiritual mystics attest to their personal experience, knowledge actually liberates mind. Imagine a mind which truly understands that it is embedded inside a vastness which spans from planck scale to blackholes. It would be humble or more likely amoral.

Why? This is arbitrary speculation on your part. We can't know such a mind through our imagination any more than an amoeba can know ours.

It would be humble or more likely amoral. This is just gobbledygook. The conclusion does not even follow from the premises. You are question begging, assuming that moral nihilism is actually true, and so naturally, any mind in touch with the truth would conclude that morality is bullshit.
