I've been wondering a lot lately if humans are (in some fields at least) reaching the limits of conceptual power and model-making. We evolved to do some pretty simple things (hunt gazelles, avoid tigers, make more humans), and are very, VERY good at operating in systems and scales similar to the ones that those tasks require in.There's absolutely no reason for us to have neural architecture built to represent or conceptualize what's happening at the quantum level, in the same way that there was no evolutionary push to develop vision in the gamma ray spectrum. It may be that the impossible weirdness of quantum mechanics is an emergent property of our brains trying to understand rules that we're not built to understand. There are almost certainly vistas of 'reality' that we are just incapable of perceiving or even conceptualizing.One of my best mushroom trips involved coming to this realization that there is something MORE, and while I may never be able to interact with it or understand it in any way, it does exist.Blessings~ND
