A dog is never going to understand Fourier Transforms. I expect there are concepts that our brains will never understand as well.

Indeed, it’s an uncomfortable idea but maybe someday we’ll have to accept it. That we don’t know, we’ll never know, we can’t know. I wonder if we’ll be able to prove that we can’t know something. Or prove that we can’t prove it.

Or, alternatively, the human brain, unlike dog’s, has the capability to learn (and eventually understand) that may already exceed what is needed to understand all there is to understand.

Brains. One person may not be able to understand it might take teams.
