I totally understand what you're saying.
What I meant though was: Why do we try so hard to understand everything.
There's a big difference.

You're not buying the idea it's about angst?

Maybe people with more anxiety have better survival skills.

I remember reading that the great Viking explorers thought that everything they encountered could be a demon or monster in disguise. So you could walk up to them smiling and offering a welcome wagon gift basket and they'd wack your head off. Could be that over-reacting is a genetic trait of tribes with a better survival rate.
