“I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as a fraud”
— Carl Jung

Simplified Meaning:
Just because you don't understand something, it doesn't mean it's fake or a scam. Think about when you were a child and didn't understand how the internet worked. You didn't think it was a trick, you just accepted you didn't know everything about it yet. Similarly, when people first heard about electricity, many didn't understand it, but that didn't make it any less real or important. It's important to keep an open mind and not dismiss things just because they confuse you. In life, you will encounter lots of things that are hard to explain or understand right away. Instead of calling them false, give yourself the chance to learn more about them.
