I haven't seen the video yet, but I guess what you said are the words of mysterians. They believe that we can not solve some problems at all (mainly the mind-body problem), as if it's like teaching quantum physics to monkeys. You'd not accomplish that, because they're incapable of understanding it. They say we are like monkeys in confronting some mysteries of the world, some problem are beyond our capability to solve. and... I don't want to be a monkey!
