How can we legitimately project the verb "to know" on the universe? And how can we claim that it "knows because it is inside it"? This makes no sense to me and seems a continuation of the human tendency to assume the universe behaves in humanistic or biological terms.

Is the universe self-aware? because it seems to me that is the only way we could accept that it "knows" anything.
