Like, we...

We have been doing science.

We have been thinking about this stuff for a long time.

And every time we discover something new, we find more interesting questions.

And this is a complete cliche.

I'm not the first person to say this, but the idea that that there are such fundamental things in the world that we do not understand, that we don't know why these things happen.

We don't know what what happens.

like the nature of the world is, and we are in it, we are of it.

One of the great illusions that being human, and especially being human here and now in this culture, like sort of fosters is this idea that somehow we are separate from the world.

We are of the world, we are pieces of the world.

This is one of the things that's so frustrating about this idea that, oh, the rules are different when you measure.

I'm not special.

I'm of the world.

There are not different rules for me than there are for anyone else.

I'm a piece of the world.

I'm part of the world.

So are you.

So is everyone.

We are all of a part with this strange and wonderful place that we live in.

And it is not clear how any of this works.
