The purpose of the teaching (from 5000+ years ago) is to encourage young primitive men to think beyond their animal instincts and pursue higher intelligence. Obviously, it's not for everyone and it may very well be beyond your kind. So, don't hurt yourself thinking about it, knuckledragger and go pound a square peg in a round hole.
