“If the human brain were simple enough for us to understand, we would be too simple to understand it”
this quote and the limits of human reasoning have been the subjects of the day. After a fierce discussion I found myself so utterly utterly satisfied. It feels as being in love. The ability to use our reason is as good as being in love.
Has human reason got limits? Could you fit it in a box, could you fully comprehend human reason..or human brain?
I don't think so...today..
As long as our brain has "dark corners" , we are still using our brain...or our reason, to lighten those corners. What if there wouldn't be any more dark corners..well...then there will be some other things to figure out and if there's some other things to figure out, it means that we are still creating those other things with our reason and with the same reason we are trying to comprehend them.
For example.. humans were able to lighten things about the Stars and about the Moon and the Sky without even using telescopes..they did it by using their reason..so after they had discovered those things..new aspects appeared to discover and so on and on..so it's like a never ending braid..
and if one day someone would accidentally know everything (and I mean absolutely everything)..then this person most probably wouldn't know that he knows everything..therefore..he actually wouldn't know everything
