All due respect, but I don't think there is any imperative to view material that will cause serious psychological harm. If the price of knowledge is your right hand you are not required to pay it. The most relevant example would be showing hardcore pornography to small children - it may be knowledge of a kind, but it does more harm than good.

EDIT: Of course, I read them anyway. Very, ah ... deep.
