I'll agree with you there, absolutely. In fact, I think that most of our perceptions are filtered through our mental toolset, which is why I work on mine so much. And yet on something as fundamental to philosophy as the creation it's the mysticism that seems to have been most formative, which I find interesting. However, from the point of view of metacognition it makes sense to me. It seems a bit arrogant to think that an infinite universe can be understood by a finite mind. It is a sign I think of our courage, and stupidity, that we keep trying anyway.
