I don't get how people see this as an anti-philosophy quote. It literally says "we can't fully get it but we should do the best we can, whatever that best ends up being."

That's literally a Kantian argument, in a sort of vulgar way.

Fellow free spirits, my dear friends of this gay board,—thank God, I have been writing again at last. After many months of only being able to scrawl in my journals and shitpost, I have had a breakthrough. Tonight I've written three pages of incandescent fire. I feel the Muse has graced me with her presence. Over-bros, please give me encouragement to keep writing! A happy and gay night to you all Anons!
