I know it’s tactless to ask an explanation of an aphorism but I cannot resist. First of all, what does this aphorism mean so that even a dim witted one can understand. And why is it horrifying? I have a feeling that this aphorism is potentially mind blowing once I understand it

Like many things in life, the incomprehensible can have more than one valence: beauty or horror, utopia or dystopia. Perhaps both at once.

It's your aphorism so you must be finding solace in it but I find the word arbitrary, well, arbitrary. "Into mundane" makes more sense to me. The first steam engine we know of was a part of some Roman festival, and today we use the special relatively theory for GPS.

Pretty good thought. I might tweak it thus: "Civilization turns the terrifying into the arbitrary via comprehensibility." The progress of civilization has been shaped by people marching against the gradient of terror, not ignorance.

It's our current conceit that individual absolute comprehension is at (or near) the apex.
