An argument AGAINST the inifnity of awareness

Think of it this way: if you went to a college calculus lecture where the professor was talking about integrals and derivatives, but you were a 2nd grader who didn't even understand negative numbers, fractions, decimals, long division, algebra, polynomials, geometry, and trigonometry -- you would be so lost that it would seem to you like the professor was talking nonsense and just writing scribbles on the wall. You might even think the professor is insane. And any questions you asked would be coming from such a deep place of ignorance and inexperience that there would be no way to easily explain to you the error of your understanding, because each answer would only raise a dozen more questions. Because complex and nuanced topics require a deep foundation of prior experience.

Asking questions about consciousness or infinity without at least a few years of meditation experience is as silly as a 2nd grader asking about calculus.

It would look like a movie to the second grader probably.  A kind of adult attempt to entertain them.  There might be awe there, but no understanding.
