There are so many phenomena that are beyond human intellect, intuition, and language that the best we can do is to observe and marvel. It doesn’t mean that we should give up trying to seek explanation or modeling of observed reality, just that don’t be dogmatic about it.
The concepts behind words in human languages are extremely fuzzy and ambiguous. That is why progress on computational linguistics was stuck for a long time, until researchers started using statistical models.
This fuzzy and ambiguous way of modeling the world seems to better fit whatever it is our brains do. The definition of what is or isn't "life" is fuzzy and ambiguous, because however the concept is encoded in our brains is fuzzy and ambiguous.
For example, mathematics is not mystical. Philosophy is also well argued.
And secondly, not everything might be definable with data. For example, how should one treat others is not a purely scientific question.
Having said that, what would you like to know?
The thing I've always loved about pure science is that the best work is approached with much humility. We do not know what something is or why something is. We have a lot of data, may be able to predict a secondary behavior or predict a primary behavior fairly consistently, but that's a bandaid at best--we know it (hehe) and try to dig deeper. Outside of science, we tend to just "know" and brush off deviations from what we know as mysticism or something else.
Sometimes I wish I wasn't aware of how little I really know compared to what I'd like to know. When you peel away the facade of certainty in a lot of aspects of life, it's a bit disheartening to see how people treat each other based on the assumptions they often make of such falsely placed certainty.
