All concepts can be learnt. All things worth knowing may be grasped. Eventually.
All can be understood—given enough time and effort.
For Turing-complete organism, there is no qualitive gap between knowledge and ignorance.
No qualitive gap but one. The true qualitative difference: quantity.
Often we simply miss a piece of data. The gap is too large—we jump and never reach the other side. A friendly hominid who has trodden the path before can share their journey. Once we know the road, there is no mystery. Only effort and time. Some hominids choose not to share their journey. We keep a special name for these singular hominids: genius.

Well, that’s exactly the problem.
