Why is human intellect so painfully finite? You read someone's work and it boils down to few simple ideas they hold, you can distill them quite fast and predict what their narrative will be.

The saddest thing is I am well aware I appear the same way to others.

Most PhD research is just "filler". They need to be doing research with no gaps in between so most research put out is pretty low tier.

Individually our computational power is definitely finite. But, we do have access to scripture written by God. Read the old testament, new testament, and Quran. The depth of wisdom there is without a doubt infinite.

In those very scriptures it speaks about how we are created in the image of God. Our intellect is a little piece of that infinite power. We can solve decision problems that take infinite time to compute. Very simple proofs are an example of this, like the proof root 2 is irrational. We are the solution to the halting problem, we don't crash if a problem is undecidible because we aren't an algorithm.

The work of Dostoyevsky, Nietsche, Gödel, Plato, Al Ghazali, or any of the other greatest philosophers is a good place to be if you want ideas which are comprehensive. Your big brain might still see them as simple, but those solution spaces are bijective onto truth from any angle of attack. Simple solutions are usually the best ones as long as they cover the whole problem.

Be careful tho, as Al-Ghazali once said to read from the philosophers you must be like a skilled merchant who can feel into a bag of mostly fake gold coins and pick out the real ones. That's our job as modern intellectuals.

We're huge fucking machines made up of billions and billions of molecules, refined over a billion years, and most of us still have trouble adding up 3 digits numbers.
Really put things into perspective.
