I have gained an unshakable sense of wonder and mystery for sure.

I guess I'm just wondering how to simultaneously not understand and conceptualize at the same time. Socrates said 'the only thing I know is that I know nothing.' But he was a philosophical genius. What is it that he was describing in his writings and teachings, then, if he was constantly aware of his lack of understanding? What is one communicating when they know they know nothing?
