As we acquire more knowledge things do not become more comprehensible but more complex and more
According to the speaker, things become more complex and more mysterious, instead of more comprehensible, as we acquire more knowledge. In my opinion, I agree with the speaker that the knowledge explosion really complicate the things we can understand, however, the speaker overlooks the achievement we human has(have) attained in understanding the world around us. ... Suppose the knowledge we acquired as a snowball, with the snowball grows, the surface it can interact with become broader in scale. ... People want to know much more than what they have got and what they can get, as a result, the complex and mysterious things accrue.
