Today's Horoscope
There are an infinite number of things beyond human comprehension. The size of the universe, the nature of God, the meaning of life, even how deep and wide the ocean really is. There are an infinite number of problems that are beyond our scope and understanding, try as we might to figure them out. Poverty, war, corruption, racism, borders, the economy.
Oddly enough, humans have devised a system of government that often rewards leaders who offer simple solutions to complex problems. In turn, we think in simple terms and look for a quick fix to problems that have manifested along many fronts and that affect so many members of society in different ways.
So we think things that like jail or deregulation or war or a wall is going fix something that we don't understand and are all unequipped to deal with, let alone even conceive all the effects it will have.
Add to that, people are so wrapped up in their own ego that they will fight any understanding if it means they are wrong. You have a population led by people who are rewarded for simple answers to complex problems, catering to uninformed and clueless people who are afraid to admit that they might not have an answer or even understand the question.
The stars wonder why humans are so surprised that the world is so fucked up. It's the world they made.
