Man senses that after he fully achieves all of his goals, there will be nothing left to do, and so he fears that achievemenMan may even intentionally go insane, simply to prove that his free will is not subject to reason and that he may behave irrationally if he so desires.

Reason may solve all the world's problems, but then man is left with nothing to do.
Consciousness renders man immobile, but allows him to “occasionally whip” himself, which at least “livens things up a bit."
He wonders why he desires things like crystal palaces when he should be content with apartments, thinking his desire might be some cruel hoax.
He then remarks that those who live underground like him never stop talking once they start, even though they have been
