"...millions of hours went into both fantastic and carefully considered leaps in order to form all sights, sounds, and experiences into a meaningful whole."

I am convinced that whole we perceive is false. Such meaning as it has to us is what we seek to justify in our self-deception.

We are demonstrably incapable of total understanding. Any presumption we make to it is false. Plato ascribed to Aristotle the statement that he knew he knew nothing, and since existence is an emergent event, partial understanding is indeed no understanding, because only complete understanding enables comprehension of emergence.

Because of this I doubt I can ever be humble enough. I hope it is enough that I try, because that is all I can do.
