They are all just models. The only model that's complete is the universe itself, and we can't cram that into our tiny brains. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago Correction. We can't cram that into our tiny brains and still be "human". We would likely be something on a closer level of, say, the "Q" from Star Trek. Or possibly Urza from Magic the Gathering.
