How we look at the world shapes reality; sometimes the Earth is both flat and round!

Isnβt it beautiful and poetic and also truthful because immediate reality is the one that matters. Blake believed that we are able to perceive only this reality, everything else is abstraction and he was right. How can we imagine the vastness of space, the vastness of molecules?

Maybe we ourselves are tiny components of a world that is far beyond the limits of our imagination.

Yes it is very much Mandelbrotian I suspect. As a kid I watched a memorable cartoon along those lines. People lived in the fur of the furry elephants who also lived in the fur of some other animals and so it went infinitely without knowing of each other

Good point! I also remembered a cartoon about creatures living inside a pollen grain, unable to comprehend the vast world outside.
