Yeah I agree with that. I think as humanity has learned more and more, we've figured out things that have opened our eyes to how little we understand and maybe we're just not equipped to figure it out.
Now that we have discovered and observed things on a quantam level, we can see that we literally have no idea what the hell is going on.
