We are unaware of what we are unaware of. Combine this with the fact that we see and hear less than one half of one percent of everything going on around us, and we retain very little of what we learn, means that we can only speculate on the true nature of things. I liken it to our experience and interaction with a smartphone. We see the beautiful screen presentation but beneath that screen there are billions of invisible transactions taking place to support our simple, screen experience. We are an incredibly obtuse species. We just aren't smart enough to realize this and our corrupted historical records are of little help.
