Amen! Well said.

It is funny to see people treat systems in the natural world as if they are the same as human-made systems. As if nature can be "solved" the same way chess can be solved, they just have to find the right variables to care about. When in reality there are infinite variables, in a sense. It's not like chess that only has so many valid legal moves.

It's kind of like that with physics, but then you get in to the fact consciousness exists, and none of science has the mildest clue of how to shoehorn that in to the universe model defined by things like mass and velocity.

That doesn't meant it's useless to try, but we have to keep our actual understanding in proportion and understand how much we do not understand... Big egos and money incentives can easily lead to some serious nonsense, where "knowledge" departs from obvious wisdom.
