NEVER A GOD'S EYE VIEW

It is a truism that the universe is entirely and intricately interconnected.

Not withstanding all our collective efforts and technological achievements, as finite beings we cannot aspire to a "God's eye" perspective. We can barely begin to bring all events and all connections into view simultaneously.

For this reason a comprehensive understanding of ourselves and our world will always elude us. Our conjectures, poetic insights and most powerful scientific theories are—always—simplifications.
