I mean, it can occasionally, if it wants to; but really, how many penetrating insights to human nature do you need in one lifetime? Two? Three? Once youโve realised that no one else has a clue what theyโre doing, either, and that love can be totally pointless, any further insights into human nature just start getting depressing really.
