This comment encapsulates how poorly we humans are at accepting unknowns. For me, that explains a lot of our belief systems. The fact we can’t just take the unknown but instead have to fill in the blanks with what ifs. and create a narrative like we know anything about the unknown thing. It helps us feel like we understand it more. That’s literally how religions and a lot of other things get created, it’s a pattern, then the logical person sees the patterns and say it’s a simulation. A quite predictable filling of another blank.
"dunno" is just a really unsatisfying answer to anything
Currently we don't know a lot of things - but without trying out new ideas how are you ever going to know?
Trying is fine. Saying you don’t know or don’t understand something is not mutually exclusive with trying to learn more
> and create a narrative like we know anything about the unknown thing. It helps us feel like we understand it more.
In fairness, this very often helps us understand the unknown thing more.
It’s how science and discoveries are done too…
who made you the Pope of deciding what can and cannot be known?
That would be me.
Abdication syndrome.
