Neuroscientist Reveals Your Brain is Just “Guessing” & Doesn’t Know Anything | Lisa Feldman Barrett

[@highheartwellness]

Excellent interview, 1:14:11 “We evolved as a social species. We involved in such a way, what that means is we are the caretakers of each others nervous systems. We make deposits, metaphorically, withdrawals in each other’s body budgets. The best thing for another human, a human nervous system or a body budget, is another human….” Lisa has many words of wisdom.

[@MenaVee]

This is one conversation I wish went on for much longer! Rachel Hollis went on for over 3 hours and this wasn't even 2 hours. I didn't want it to end! This conversation provided so much value for me. So much of what she was saying resonated with me because they were things I have been thinking, however everything I was reading in personal development kept contradicting what I believed to be true for me! She started answering many questions I had but I never got the full understanding because you would move on to something else. I will listen to some of her other videos. I feel like I am finally getting a much needed breakthrough to help me get through this depression! It would be nice if we were able to submit questions and you have a follow-up video where you have the guest answer some of the questions.

[@mjel78]

Hey Mena, I hope you get this message... This is only a suggestion, Andrew Heberman is a must watch/read. He is another Neuroscientist and he has changed my life! he is on KZbin but uses Instagram a lot more. Hope this helps.

[@artofficialbrain]

Don't give up Mena! I've been where you are. Maybe. I dont want to presume on your struggle but ive was depressed too and I found the profound answers I could never have imagined because they were so utterly counterintuitive to the thought paradigms I inherited from all the people I've encountered in my life. I wish everyone could experience the rest and peace I have now. It's enabled me to be genuinely (because it has been tested thoroughly) love my enemies in a way were I no longer consider them as such, and likewise strangers are no longer strangers to me. Dont ever give up queen! There is a solution! 🤗

I think the opposite is true. Tom asks such good questions that he often pulls out of his guests useful information that contextually matters to his audience. Too much interference is not good, but inadequate interference through questions and comments, in my opinion, diminishes the value to these sessions

[@msk64]

I have suffered from depression for many many years and listened to countless hours of reasons why I'm how I am. I've very rarely heard advise or reasoning that makes sense to me. Lisa has described my feeling so accurately. At 1:05.40, she says,... and that's the start of depression or close to. It's a shame that Tom seems to gloss over that statement as I think it warranted further discussion. I'm not saying it was deliberately done, but it was disappointing. Thank you Lisa and Tom for a great open and informative conversation. It was a pleasure to listen in.

The brain/body bankruptcy thing; that was me with my depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. I had gone through so much shit in my life that I was running on empty for a long time. I was at the point where I had planned an endpoint for my life because I was so tired. It took having to ingest 1.0 g of mushr**ms to bring myself back to 0. And now I'm working my way back up.

[@tamlerner8898]

I relished this discussion, as it put a thorough explanation to what in my past has tormented me.. It is a facet of my nature to take it upon myself to cultivate the best of each moment for others and also for me.. So the times that I was having an "off day" or only preoccupied with my own immediate need(s) & things didn't go well for their best interest(s) are what haunt me.. Scenarios like choosing which human out of 5 survives in a sinking boat theory [or similar ideas] literally hurt my brain. I am thankful to see that this can be a good thing, though it would be so much nicer to never have those tough days that contain the momentary failures of consistant care for others. Those times you can never go back and fix are those that really bug me, autopilot words and body language that can never really be taken back. Often those are the things that pull me back to the past. But I am endeavoring to always stay in the moment and do my best.

[@grahaminglis4242]

There are several comments about this discussion that viewers are not engaging with the things that Lisa Barrett is bringing to the table and therefore they are personally critical of her presentations. This is a misunderstanding of the worthy essence of the subject matters she’s confronting directly and in my view intellectually challenging, but not generally spoken about in the public domain like this discussion. The stuff she referred to is about daily living as much as it’s about scientific research and knowledge and that is great because it has to relate to both realms to constitute wisdom that makes a curious viewer invest one’s energy in asking whether these themes and content are worthy of consideration? So I am going to watch this video several times as it raised many questions and matters that are really intriguing.

[@happiness4beginners449]

I have a metabolic condition and struggle with depression seemingly constant melancholy ever more so since I have been sick. This made so much sense because even positive current circumstances and positive people still feel negative because of the drain and pain my body is experiencing sending signals to my brain that something negative is happening. In order to feel better mentally I must focus on my body first. This was all very interesting

[@BringBackOldSkoolHH]

Yes, "a healthy mind in a healthy body". If you want to feel better (which is kind of rhetorical question :) pay attention to what makes you feel happy or depressed. There are patterns to how we feel, usually the foods we consume or chemicals we smell or even things like hours when you feel better for instance in the afternoon. This can give you some ideas on what's happening in your body. You might realize you're craving some food not because you want to eat it but because it makes you act out your pattern of doing or feeling something (that is my observation, that sometimes I eat something only to feel miserable, even though I don't want it). Anyways, there are usually few major things why we feel not so good. It's blood sugar, adrenals, histamine, allergies, thyroid, mhtfr... If you want to find out more about stuff like this check out the books: Diet Cure by Julia Ross, Depression-Free, Naturally: 7 Weeks... by Joan Mathews Larson or read the reviews from amazon on ancestral supplements (I'm not affiliated with the company). You can even contact the owner of the company as he seems like a helpful person. P.S. Here I only glanced at the biological part of feeling depressed. But of course there could be some psychological issues as well that need to be resolved or looked at. Good luck with getting back to feeling better!

[@brycepaquette8542]

Tom started Impact Theory as a platform to give his audience insightful information they can use to implement in their own lives. Lisa does go on and on quite a few instances and she seems defensive, quick to let you know when she thinks your wrong. She is very knowledgeable however there is room for improvement with her communication skills. Tom barely speaks in this and I'm losing focus. I found it really hard to follow her answers in a logical progression. She probably doesn't interview very much and just needs more practice and honest, direct feedback to improve, assuming she is open to receiving feedback

Great conversation. For sure this is self-help evolving. I think Lisa's work would lay particularly good foundations for people myself included. If your able to have a non-negotiable obligation to yourself for a body budget it's not just for your overall betterment but it creates resource to be compassionate to others. Whenever spending time in other cultures, I noticed times people were abnormally efficient in some way of living. Deciphering cultures methods of solving the same problem probably requires living in their shoes nuances and all, observation on a Milton Erickson level or teaching people this very concept to communicate back. Reading old writing is only really useful once you have enough correct interpretation.

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

The way to get rid of "ruminating" on negative emotions is to do the "Moving of yin and yang" exercise. Our leg muscles are way stronger than our arms - and the glutes is the biggest muscle next to the diaphragm. So when we stand with the knees bent and the thigh muscles get sore then the legs start shaking at 7 to 8 times per second. This is called "Shaking Medicine" (the title of a book by Dr. Bradford Keeney). So the shaking of the sore leg muscles then sublimates the neurohormones via increase blood to the brain and this increases the brain pressure and empties out the conceptual mind. And then there is the "relaxation response" as a Parasympathetic Rebound. Dr. Stephen Porges goes into this - but it originates from Dr. Herbert Benson studying Tibetan Monks.

This has to be the best talk, yet. On any podcast show. What brought me here? A question from a doctor living in India. Are you a monk? It would take seven years to figure that out. By nature, which is, my natural state couldn't mistaken for a Buddhist monk and a Shaolin monk, with a twist of Taoism. That question got me in 2010 to start a journey. This one will be planned "this time" and so, I disconnected from the life around me, which ultimately end a 35 year marriage. She is just like everybody I know, and the rest of the world, just like you two. One day, we were having lunch and she looks long at me from across the table. What are you doing? You look like you're getting younger and eventually she opened and wanted it, but, what it would do to her life. She didn't want to change, even knowing my success with helping people. #destresstherapist #drdestress What did I discover about a life, that I didn't keep up with? Can you recall a time, when, there was silence in your mind. I mean, silence through the entire day. Wake up, drink, eat, play or work, day comes to an end and it's time to sleep. And what if, you were to go to sleep right after the sun went down and up shortly after the sun comes up? The Big Three, the stomach, the heart and the brain. When, they align, you are living in a meta human state. You need proper amount of sleep. Because, you live in a calm, relaxed, alert state. Always at peace with what ever shows up out of the blue and because of this, you will without thinking about or being aware of it. You will consume a lot less food. Your brain is barely operating in this state. Which is actually, whats going on with the body. All three organs are working in unison, working together as one. Now, what I want to know is this. There isn't anything happening on earth in any career. "there isn't any kind of life that someone is living right now, that tells me the reason for our brain having unlimited amount of data storage place" Until then, My belief, humans are supposed to be turning over every rock. Our true nature is to explore new avenues to build up our knowledge and skills, which does what? Sharpens our abilities. At that point and time in history, when, humans our ancestors appeared on earth "for what ever freakin reason, does it really matter how we got here" The one to gather the most knowledge would be the one to make new discoveries and would more likely insure survival among humans. Over time there would be a shift, humans would discover that its much easier to take, than, to figure out the solution to having riches, water, food and so on. They could just take it. What would take years to accomplish, war could bring the spoils in a matter of months or weeks. And we still practice this today. There are circuits in our brain right? There are four that are pretty cool, they help us in the most important ways. Live through these four laws I discovered while, studying the first 27 years of my life. Which is why the doctor asked me. Are you a monk. These four laws created my foundation, just as they created your foundation. "you can take a boy out of the country, but, you can't take the country out of a country boy" How did the word compete come to be? Could you say, to prove one is better, than, another? To win? What if, we just did things together because it is a fun activity? There is no competing against one another. What if, someone gave pointers to someone who are about to compete against each other in a World Championship tournament? What if, every thought produced creation, some kind of intention and from it always came goodness, progress or failure, which is still progress-success and failure, either way is still a form of obtaining knowledge and skills to be used in the future. Are you able to imagine what I have been experiencing over the last three years? Over the last three years, research, studies, doctors, psychologists, psychiatrist, scientist who studies the brain, neurologists, the list goes on to off the professional grid to people who travel around the world doing workshops.

[@darrebell3086]

I’m sorry Tom! You, and Joe Rogan, are the best conversationalists, and you make guests so relaxed, not only their true self comes out, but they at times forget their manners. Now, I’m not going to judge which is it, in this case (let’s go with “a Zoom problem”), but I felt for you... the reason I even mentioned Rogan, is the similarity in your guys’ response... I’m talking about the way she cut you off, a couple of times even apologized, “I didn’t mean to cut you off” but kept talking!?! [i guess maybe she did mean to...] Your face, especially the sideways smile...I was able to “see” your imagined response, I “felt” that little heat rising towards the brain... That said, it was great, it’s the third conversation with Lisa I’ve seen in recent weeks. I did not realize it was a new thing that the brain is constantly hypothesizes, observes, measures, and adjusts its database for future events. It’s almost as if the brain registers an event in more or less detail, based on the degree to which the observation varied from its hypothesis... interesting

[@greatsist]

To answer the question " why is anger good? " I feel like it might be because it give us a feeling of control over the emotion. Since most emotions are secondary emotions and the emotions that they stem from are happiness and sadness. Many of us subconsciously take sadness and "tweak" it so it turns into anger. When we are angry it gives us the impression that we have more of a sense of control over the situation. I may be wrong but it seems logical to me.

Early_Riser_71 amen! I was and still am interested in the concept but I couldn’t make it through this interview. I got nothing from it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an interview go this poorly. And yet, there are some people that thought it was great. Different strokes...

[@caseykittel]

well put. I feel similarly. she's probably way better at writing than speaking. that's the way I am. I marvel at Toms amazing verbal abilities. she should not pick random examples. she's just pissed off about political stuff and pooping out info into our ears. she is brilliant, but she's meandering all over the damn place. she's not a good conversationalist. she always has to interject when she knows something. stick to the talking points. Tom is sweet for being polite and for trying to keep the conversation moving along. she should remove the words, "so..., you know... and um...

At about 1:03 she talks about not being able to really use our brains with a body deficit. This is one reason we have a school lunch program. Studies that showed that kids can’t learn while hungry. To bad the food isn’t more nutritious. Also, if the kids live with fear and uncertainly and instability, all these things hurt their brains ability to learn.

sounds like she's "just guessing" when she talks - sounds like me when I'm sleep deprived. I'm sure her books are great or tom wouldn't have bothered. that was difficult to sit through. hehe. I send love though - this ain't hate. I honestly think she was feeling challenged by tom's absolutely incredible verbal abilities (and that made her kind of defensive almost). her ted talk is savage though - mind blowing and sobering. you don't know what you think you know about human emotions! but for interviews - she needs to have more "go to" examples at the ready. that's what makes conversations like this really great - hearing examples that blow minds is where it's at. she was wasting our time trying to think up new ideas on the spot. I hope she sees all this. It will help her if she's willing to look it at honestly and not just get offended. get good at interviews or don't bother. is it rude of me to say that she also sounds like a recovering control addict that's slipping into using again? I mean, the way she constantly tried to steer the conversation was lame. maybe I'm just pissed that they never got back to half the points that seemed really interesting. instead, we had to sit through her long pauses, shitty examples, personal beef with politics these days. I agree with most of what she was getting at too. her approach was off. at least for this interview. sorry.

as a computer scientist and electronic engineer, it seems to me that the brain is an adaptive feedbacked system that "finds" predictions by resonating the network to sensory input. Everything said above makes sense and is consistent in this light. Really amazing and interesting interview, thanks. Btw feedback networks are built in electronics to try to control variations. In biology too. But the biological cost of achieving the samevresonance can be wildly different

[@rustycovey4607]

Have you watched the tv series from the 70s called Kung Fu with David Carradine? When I was 16, I started watching tv for the first time, like a few hours a month. The Waltons, HAppy Days, and Kung Fu. It wasn't the fight, the martial arts, it was his behavior. There were some show however, that caught my attention, which baffled me. What is that behavior? Curiosity doesn't use words, it's like an impression, a reading of an impression, an openness to what is happening in the moment. What caught my attention was, when, he got upset, the edge of anger. What is he doing? I didn't have that behavior. For over forty years, I listened, observed, or studied whatever was happening in the moment. All senses on one thing. Just as Lisa pointed out about babies, all they see is things on a head. There is no meaning or definition to the child. Its a blank slate. To a child all humans look a lot, what the child is being pulled to has to do with just the activity. Something moving or an object, not a human, unless, they are extremely excited or suffering, but, to something object or thing the brain has never seen. Its new data, must explore it. This exploration mode. As a child, the unconscious years, you fearlessly went off to explore all unknowns. Inside you, there is a being, some call it the spirit or soul, something like that. I know it as a being, imagine, not knowing you exist. This being lives in silence. But, are lead by curiosity and imagination. Think about it. Over the last few years, I discovered from my past that part of my natural behavior, these traits pertain to the traits found in a Shaolin monk. Has anyone ever been hypnotized in a way that would cause them to live without knowing they exist? They are aware of everything, everyone and all is the same, same life same everything, only , they are clueless of themselves being in a room. They walked into it. But, the experience is all that they can connect with and in silence. They are told to live fully in the present, never can they think about the past or the future. Do you know what would happen over a couple of years? They would begin to live a simplified life. All activities start out on a simple note, the first few steps of any activity, always starts out on an easy note. So, when, we live through a child's curiosity and imagination. We are freely pulled to explore anything that is happening around you, not in some other place where you can't put your hands on. What can you do with that which you cannot see, hear, smell, taste and touch. It's pointless. By living through each situation in a Buddhist, Zen state or think about this. Take what the Buddha taught, what Jesus taught and what the Tao Te Ching. Over lay them to discover their commonalities, and you will know yourself. Now, do any of them talk about living without knowing? Have you ever done anything and a day goes by, a week, a month, a year or how about years and you never once were aware of what you were doing. You never reflected back on it. What if, this was just your natural way of living? From this we can learn that fear is a creation, just as feeling sad is a creation. All that has happened is that there has been a shift inside us and we have become aware of it, pulling our attention to that shift. IF, we didn't do that, let nature take its course, let the gut, heart and brain do their work, a circuit in our brain would snap us out of it. And within seconds all is fine, length of time depends on severity, like a death, no sadness, just not fully functional. This snap could take days. But, the circuit #2, which gives us our resilience. There was this elephant who backed herself into a corner and stayed there for days on end, after another elephant died. The two were very close. The elephant just had to wait it out to allow the gut, heart and brain to align. It wasn't long before the elephant was back to herself again. What if, you lost everything you have worked for, Tom? To get it back, what would you have to do? Was it luck that that opportunity came along or laws of attraction or laws of opportunity? The one that makes the most sense to me, Laws of Opportunity. Can you find anything around you wherever you go in the world that isn't a creation? The world, everything inside it, on top of it and around it as far as we can see into the Universe is a creation, all of it. What would happen, if, someone lived in this state of unknowing the self and this individual lived for a thousand years? Their level of creativity would be mind-blowing to our simple minds. When, I share concepts(#intuition #creativity #futronics) with people who know what I am talking about, yet, they can't quite grasp concept due to the depth of it complexity . Imagine, someone from 1972, and you went back to visit them. And you tell them all about 2021. They would be completely lost with all of this unfamiliar data. So, lost that they likely wouldn't be able to think, just listen without a thought. On the topic of exercise, What happened to the kids in 2nd grade that lost their desire, the fun to be able to run? Once, in a while my mother would let me go to school with my older siblings. One day, the teacher sent us over to a corner across the football field. Imagine, a two year old in a 8 year old's body, who will make it around the track first. When, we started out, I was in the center and it was noisy. NExt thing, I know, its quiet, I stopped running, turned around to see what had happen to the noise and what do I see. The other kids are just coming around the turn and heading down the straight towards me. And I'm at the other end. Once, they caught up, I took off again. How about the first time to go to 2nd grade. Next thing I know, I'm behind a shed punching it out with a 4th or 5th grade. First one to get a bloody nose loses the fight. He bloodied my nose first and we went to our classes. The moment the fight was over, I went on to class though it never happened. Its 6th grade and finally my education starts. Age 13, I'm learning the ABCs, colors, shapes, math like 1+1=2, I had to learn what I missed in elementary and on top of that learn what was being taught for 6th graders. By the end of the year. I can say that I was within reach of being where the other students are. By 8th grade, I'm designing buildings, skyscrapers, also, able to take my dad's car apart piece by piece visually and put the car back together.

Buddhism emphasizes Kindness as "Metta" culture. Kindness and forgiveness. Love is an action of the qi or prana from the heart based on deep right side vagus nerve activation. The dopamine turns into serotonin and then into oxytocin. The Qi or prana is stored in the small intestines as the 2nd brain (more neurons than the heart).

the Pineal Gland transcends cultures. It's called "direct perception" in yoga philosophy. So it's a deeper level of psychophysiology than "thinking" in "concepts." It is pure energy-information that is then transduced into a lower frequency "conceptual" thinking in the brain.

@@TheSare423 yes your spirit makes contact with your soul and even precognitive visions are possible!

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

@@TheSare423 yes - I've had precognitive visions of someone's death - several times. Sometimes it could be telepathy or clairvoyance when someone else finds out first. There is a term for that when parapsychology can not distinguish between telepathy or other abilities but really it is from precognition as Olivier Costa de Beauregard details - he's a relativistic quantum physicist. haha. It's quite hilarious that so-called serious scientists dismiss this as "woo woo" when in fact they are not serious enough! It's only the advanced scientists that take this topic seriously and then their research is classified by the CIA! I documented this in one of my uploads. So yes our memories are based on emotion - the strong the emotional energy is like taking a photo - the stronger the electrochemical "imprint" energy that stores the image. And yes non-local consciousness CREATES spacetime. So basically the future and the past are happening at the SAME time at the speed of light and our spirit is coherent biophoton light. Yes it is impersonal energy as Dr. Christina Donnell details - so she said that she doesn't often act on precognition. The vision is MORE REAL than being awake! So we realize that being awake is also a type of dream. NDErs report this - that their "after death" visions are more real and the senses are more vivid. Qigong masters can smell long distance - over the phone! guidingqi.com Jim Nance can do this. Once I could smell cancer - as a strong rotting flesh smell - when I achieved qigong master level in 2000 while fasting for a week and meditating the whole time for the Level 3 retreat of springforestqigong.com so I saw ghosts and so I know ghosts are real as a fact. So this person was in the front of the room of a conference room - and I wondered how could anyone stand to be in the same room with him because of the smell. Then he shared that he traveled long distance to be healed of cancer. Then the qigong master shared how qigong masters can smell cancer as a rotting flesh smell. And then the qigong master healed the man and his smell went away. Then things got strange. We went on break and I went to my retreat room - and the walls were thin and the smell came back!! I was through the wall and I could hear a couple having sex. So I knew that the male's Qi energy got transduced back down to physical life force energy that he lost and so his cancer came back. But as a Westerner he had no idea that celibacy is necessary for the healing. oops.

It seems she was defensive which I found very distracting. She said the question of semantics was her favorite question and yet she did not have a concise, tidy response to it. It seemed to go on and on And she even seemed a bit condescending with the “ It’s not just icing that you slather on top.” Giving an example of how two completely different cultures would approach the exact same situation might’ve been more educational. She just seem to ramble on and say, “Um..” so much that it was hard to follow. Absolutely BRILLIANT work and concepts but the interview itself was not easy to listen to.

She also took a shot at him at 1:27:01 for cutting her off. First, Tom is an interrupter, but not because he's being rude, he loves ideas and he wants to engage in conversation. ALSO remote conversations have delays and it makes fluid conversations hard. She didn't seem to be interested in a healthy discussion, just a dump of her ideas. I don't expect people to be perfect, but at the same time I think it's reasonable to assume that Tom isn't trying to be rude when he "cuts her off".

I think all this discussions about neuroscience lack a certain kind of nuance or humility towards the ridicolous amount of complexity that constitutes the human system. Talking about the concept of the "body bugdet" - something that instantly entered my mind was Viktor Frankls "Mans search for meaning". Concentration camp inmates, who barely slept, had almost nothing to eat while working heavily for hours on end under circumstances noone alive today can ever imagine. Yet somehow, some of those individuals managed to show up in almost super human feats of strength, then this tells me that the current sensemaking in this narrow context is just way too reductionistic. Iam not saying Lisa is wrong, its just not complete.

[@Sarahkozakj]

Very interesting point!

[@r.e.625]

Perhaps they went into the situation with tools that made a difference? I am not a religious person, but I can see where the crutch of faith and keeping faith in higher power along with the idea that what we do in the present determines our eternity... strengthens some people. They are predicting a positive outcome, that if not realized during their earthly existence, will be realized in their concept of eternity. This brings a hope, a positive prediction, they can use to find the courage to make the best of their circumstance no matter how impossible or improbable a positive out come in the near future might be. Giving up hope or reacting with fear (losing their faith) might not have been a viable option to them. If you listen to recordings of survivors sharing how they survived, the common theme is their faith.

[@saraH-yu1mx]

This is exactly what she’s talking about though. Did Victor Frankl go into the past or biology of these “resilient” individuals? No, he didn’t. I enjoyed “Man’s search for meaning,” but it lacks context. We don’t know why certain individuals were more resilient. They could have had a certain upbringing that made them that way, genetics that were “superior,” etc. As someone who has been through significant trauma, deals with chronic illness, getting a MFT in psych, an advocates for victims of domestic violence(so those who have been through horrific trauma), things are not so black and white. Victor Frankl is one person, who has his own opinions based on observation. I have come to completely different conclusions both personally and working with people. I think our culture of “toxic positivity” wants to pretend like any obstacle can be overcome by anyone. It’s a feel good boost that gets us through our day, but doesn’t make it true. Humans are complex. Kids die from cancer, regardless of how they respond to their environment. Some of the most positive people die from horrific illnesses. Then there are those who are reckless with their health and bodies, who live a long time. There are those who have been through trauma who fair better because they have support and had a healthy childhood. There are those who recover faster(from an illness, whether acute or chronic) because they have money. There are so many factors and not everyone is privileged. I think you get the point. I always see people using Victor Frankl as an example, but he is one person with one case study that has not been replicated.

[@Xtazieyo]

@@saraH-yu1mx I get your point and its a good one It basically boils down to the nature vs nurture argument and we wont solve this one here in the youtube comments. My main point was that we just dont know - the amount of unknown unknowns is just too big. There is just so much complexity involved thats its impossible to deduce some kind of truth claim in this area. Also, my example with Frankl was especially directed to that body-count argument - and I think anyone has experienced something like this at least some times in his life. My weirdest, personal case study was a festival I attended 3 years ago. I slept for 2-3 hours a night (For 3 nights), while drinking ridicolous amounts of alcohol during the day. I felt energized all day long, I didnt crash afterwards. Now, to this day I have no idea why that worked - I am medical doctor and currently in a PHD program - we have no fucking idea how that works. Thats my point. We try to model something that has an enormous amount of complexity and if we dont show humility towards that, we will never be able to understand it in a deeper way.
