I don't think you actually know what abstract means. I can understand the concept, for example, that we can't necessarily know anything beyond the fact that we are conscious (via Descartes). But ultimately that means very little pragmatically. It doesn't affect how I live my life in the least.

So it's not that I don't understand abstractions... I just try not to get lost in them.
