There are lots of cases where we know more about how the world works than we do about how we know how it works. That's no paradox. Understanding the structure of galaxies is one thing, understanding how we understand the structure of galaxies is quite another.

If we don't start to speak of it as serious, the millennium of the man-made woman will be upon us, and we will have had no choice.
