If its any consolation, figuring out how the world works is a daily challenge for most everyone. The only exceptions are the heads of government at various levels whose job it is to keep changing how the world works so they can keep ahead of us peons, keep us under control, and make themselves look important.
So don't feel like you are at such a disadvantage.
