What's something you just can't wrap your head around?

1. That moment when you fall asleep- when your mind slows down enough to slip into unconsciousness. If I think about how that happens when I'm trying to go to bed, I never will, because it stresses me out. Any sort of thinking about thinking (or metacognition) is tough, too. Our limit to understanding our thinking is our thinking. Makes my stomach hurt.

2. Going to a concert and filming every second of it on snapchat.

3. The universe. It's just so...big. What is it exactly? What are the limits? If it's expanding, what's it expanding into? Another universe? A black hole and concept of gravity are amazing too. What exactly is gravity and what causes something so massive as the Earth to pull other objects towards it? How can a black hole have so much gravity it can bend light? Lastly, I can't fully understand time, at least on a larger scale. I get time here on Earth but the rate of time changes as speed and/or gravity change. How is that possible? It just blows my mind. I've watched the Cosmos a dozen times and I'm always blown away.

4. People who are into poop, sexually. I can kind of understand pee, but poop? I just don't know.

5. How nothing is literally NOTHING. When you think of nothing you think of that darkness you see when you close your eyes, or just an all black room but nothing is literally nothing.

7. That we can't actually know when the time line started. If it started with the big bang and the creation of the universe, how did the big bang come to be? If it started from a different universe (which we still don't have a proof of), where did it come from? Then you think, what if the time line was always there, and that there was always something/matter. But then, WHAT THE HELL DOES ALWAYS MEAN. Like, how is it possible for something to have always been there?

8. I received a spam email recently asking if I wanted to join the illuminati. It said that if I emailed them back they would immediately deposit two million dollars in my bank account and that all the wealth and power I could ever want would be mine once I was in. The thing is, I know there are stupid and gullible people out there but I simply cannot envision the person who is so stupid that he would receive that email and think "yes! My moment has finally come!" What does he look like? What does he do for a living? No matter how hard I try I can't wrap my head around it.

10. However the fuck we get music from waves in the air... Like seriously, what the actual fuck. I can listen to my music and it comes through fucking waves and particles and shit. It's wack.

11. Anti-intellectualism. I understand being insecure about your intelligence, and being educated doesn't exactly mean someone has common sense, but the LENGTHS people and even politicians will go to! It just boggles my mind, especially since many people use techniclogy that wouldn't exist without science to promote these insipid ideas

12. Horror as a genre. I just don't understand the appeal of being scared and/or creeped out. Goes for horror movies and haunted houses.

13. How some people do relationships. I don't understand how you can spend every day together for years, develop a bond deeper than you have with anyone else, and then just throw it all away because the spark is gone and you don't get butterflies anymore and you want somebody new. Then overnight that person who was your best friend is now a stranger and you are perfectly fine with that. It just seems so fucked up.
