“In learning about the universe, ourselves, and our place in it, we can improve

—“In learning about the universe, ourselves, and our place in it, we can improve our understanding of all three levels, with each improvement of our understanding of a specific level and then refactoring our understanding of the other three levels in light of that new understanding. Conversely, a bottleneck in a specific level throttles our progress in all.” — Moritz Bierling

( This is the purpose of philosophy: refactoring in response to new understanding – Curt )
