Man created limitations on society in order to understand the world around us and perhaps ignore the infinity of the universe; however, the narrator has trouble siding with the concept of fact and logic while still retaining contradictions. What I find interesting, and what the narrator finds troubling is that he argues man is a fool and will take whatever fact is held true and shown evidence for to be a law of nature, yet we created those facts. So who's to say that from the outside, looking into our little planet, that the concept of math, time, physics, is actually what bounds us to stay limited. Perhaps there is an ulterior way of viewing the world and measuring yet we have chosen a specific set to hold true.

Obviously, facts and logic and rational are necessary for human society to continue advancing, which is one side of the argument, but who says that these are a definitive truth? However, because of the way mankind is constructed, the wall (math, science, 2x2=4) can in no way, be broken down to prove anything otherwise. A man can't just emerge from air and state that 2x2=5 because even something so simple as that could shatter the fabrication society has set up. But, who knows, maybe in an alter universe, 2x2=5 and they have a different system or concept of time and measurement. Unfortunately, for mankind's construction, it is impossible not to conceive the sky as being anything but up.
