New Mysterianism


I came across this philosophy called new mysterianism (this word must be new as the computer auto correct does not even know it).

This phylosophy basically states that some problems can't be explained by the human mind at our current evolutionary stage. One example of such a problem is human consciousness. In this case their thought is that the human mind does not have enough power or intelligence to understand itself.

I personally don't adhere to this thought, I choose a more optimist thought that we can understand our own consciousness, mind and intelligence and even improve our hardware/software/biology as well as produce entities that are more intelligent than ourselves originally were.
