HATH was written during his most depressive phase, after he abandons his attack on science in The Birth of Tragedy, when he's afraid science might be the only way to learn anything and thinks that's sad, but turns around in The Gay Science.
In HATH he's mostly lamenting how limited humans are, later he learns to appreciate it.

They didn't figure public education would reach the state where it was common to be as ignorant as you are allowed to be. Its literal translation is "The Joyful Wisdom". Its applied meaning doesn't translate directly to an English speaker, to whom a "wisdom" is more of an abstraction or demeanor than a studious understanding.
God damn it, I wanted to have hope for this board. Humanities, all too many Humanities majors.

It's literal title is "La Gaya Scienza", it's Italian, and The Gay Science is the most appropriate translation. The other poster is clearly being an 9gag ebin mEmE!! xD
