Collective output? How does that work, each one looks at a different part? Might we do the same?

I can admit when I don't grasp something. But I'm not going to defer to someone else who says that it's incomprehensible to anyone but them. A statement like that should set your bullshit detector off immediately, unless you like being sacrificed atop a pyramid.

So there's no confusion, there's a distinction between "nobody but me can understand" and "nobody but me currently understands", right?
A hyperobject is supposed to be something so large and complex that no human mind is capable of grasping it. I'm not the one invoking this unfalsifiable definition, some of those claiming to understand it however, are. That's obviously disingenuous and should immediately set off your bullshit alarm.
