"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." No doubt about it.

"squaring of the circle" I think in general means order in chaos (circle is everlasting and lacking in sides, hence no capacity for categorizing whatever may be inside)

square the circle = to solve, or attempt to solve, an impossible (or seemingly impossible) problem or situation. (idioms.thefreedictionary.com)

Amazing. So squaring the circle, this particular concept, has a lot to tell us about the nature of life on this planet.

"attempting to solve the impossible" = imposing order on a chaotic environment

The world is chaotic, because it's composed of opposites (light and dark, love and hate, good and evil, sound and silence) and uncertainty.

Humans create order as a means of survival. Otherwise the world will go into utter horrific madness. But we are not in control, and this is the truth of life. So somehow we could say that everyday, we are perpetually attempting to "square the circle". But what's inside the circle?

All of human life was and will always be spent squaring the circle. There's no other way and there never will be.
