I think there are concepts far more complex and simpler than everything human and its advances in everything known and unknown.
Human thinking has been somewhat bounded or ramified by communications capacity or limit to convey to one another.

Everyone needs something to believe in. The world as we know it is only as we know it. The unknown cannot be taken into account when making "rational" decisions. Unless you want to be regarded as insane, scary or retarded of the like. Even something as simple as relativity is regarded as a finite in its own relative way.
The paradoxical concepts such as "moral relativity" and other devices of enlightenment are "in my mind only" a conceptual price of flight. For example,

A "simple" man can say after living his life thoughtfully for 99 years the meaning of life is to burn ants with a lighter and then masturbate over the charred remains.

While on the other hand a "complex" mind after 99 years can conclude the meaning of life is to "live"

I really don't know anymore, after thinking so much my logic now disregards itself and my thoughts have become somewhat disvolatile. Nothing can now be everything and vice versa . Which brings me so conclude (and to my subjective logic conclusions are merely the product of a tired mind) that all i know is that i know nothing.

Philosophy is only worthless if you use it to speculate without facts. Then it's just semantics. In other words, if you use it to better understand the world around you, then by all means.

Metaphysics (speculating on the "nature of reality") on the other hand, is bullshit.
