The dog has one of the Great Old Ones reassuring him with pats and treats tho. If the King in Yellow had played with u and fed u for ur entire life and let you sleep in his berth of unspeakable blackness at night, and then hugged you reassuringly when Cthulhu rose from the depths, you might be able to handle it better too

We take 99% of what we see and do on faith. We all fly, but how many people can actually pilot an airplane, much less build one. Same with medicines we take,
I assume most people that fly and aren’t pilots or build aircraft know that it flies using the wings and engine. That they don’t engineering or aerodynamics doesn’t mean people find it an incomprehensible horror when a metal box suddenly takes flight.

Horror? No.
Incomprehensible? Yes.
Incomprehensible? No.
You can teach a 6 year old the basics of flight with a paper airplane.
