The nature of reallity scares me. I try to understand it, but the more i figure out the more it confuses and freaks me out. And it frustrates me how much we actually do not know. How do i cope?

by not worrying about it too much
our brains make dealing with how absolutely weird life and the universe is quite well
just go with the flow, bro

focus your mind, analyze the natural beauty, the fear is attachment to false notion of reality about 1) permanence of object states (thus clinging to is baseless) 2) analyze your mind/consciousness, this will remove the ownership of the fear, another false state that is attributed to the ownership of the fear generated from the false clinging to permanence

The world is moving. Permanent clinging is double layered falseness of reality

I'm right there with you man. This has been taking up more and more of my mental energy recently. I feel like hand in hand with this is the problem of consciousness. What is the true nature of reality? I doubt we will ever truly know. All that's left is to cope somehow, literally. It almost feels as if the more I look into it, the less I really understand

Go read some AI summaries of Kant Jung Hegel Hume Nietzsche and others. Then read some deeper text of the one you vibe with the most.

I personally find Tegmarks Mathematical Universe Hypothesis compelling. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_universe_hypothesis

I arrived at this independently through some thought experiments. Basically: our universe is either mathematical in nature, or our mathematics is insufficient to describe it and needs to be extended to cover the "non mathematical" parts. In my opinion the only thing that can exist in existence is the possibility of math, which is enough to encode every possible universe state and transition. Nothing apart from math exists, although some math structures may be upset to learn this fact.

Google search didn't try to rewrite everything, editorialized the base information, and contextual it all just to make you feel good about yourself, though, it just provided the information as is, often directly to a library reference or something like the library of congress if you specify.
