There's nothing more mind-bending than discovering how intricate the inter-workings are of every little thing around us. We spend so much time focusing on our own careers and lives that we couldn't possibly take in and process everything that is going on.

Our understanding of this world that's happening all around us is incredibly limited by the scope of our perspective and learned experiences.
That's one reason why threads like this are so fascinating; they reveal things that are working under the surface of an ocean that we haven't breached. Often they hold wild surprises and secrets for things that you'd never even stopped to consider.
