Because we live in the universe not made for us — it would’ve been arrogant to think that all this vastness was designed around apes with anxiety — it doesn’t make sense. Thus, nothing that happens here does. If you examine something — anything — really closely, you realize that everything made of infinite number of parts, each of those parts infinitely complex.

So, if you think you grasped something, you didn’t — you’ve just found a way to dumb it down so your frail brain doesn’t immediately explode.

You didn’t grasp the thing. You just made up another thing that may or may not have anything in common with the thing you tried to grasp.
