Amen. I feel the same way about the concept of “understanding” - lets be a bit more intellectually honest and admit we just don’t know what we’re talking about. Highly recommended: Reading up on Philosohpy of Mind (Daniel Dennett, David Chalmers, John Searle, etc).https://twitter.com/purpultat/status/1189613030151094272 …

Or even understanding understanding via the experiential route via insight meditation and self reflection. This one written by an neuroscientist. https://amzn.to/320DcEn
That’s a controversial stance but I am inclined towards that believe it or not :). Thanks for the book recommendation!

Yeah I haven't decided if it's just model based thinking with an imperfect model, an illusion or a real experience yet :/ but *shrug* it's doing something to try to understand yourself.

I suppose if you’re willing to not make up your mind too soon, but persist with the experimentation, the reality will emerge! :-)
