Our minds? Infinity isn’t something we don’t understand - we invented the concept of infinity. The mathematics community agreed on its definition, which includes the fact that infinity is not a real number, it literally does not exist. Show me infinity, I’ll give you infinity+1.

You deciding that infinity means something else is not a math problem but a language problem, so if being right about this is that important to you, start a petition or something
