The thing is that we do not get to decide what the problems are,
and we do not get to decide what the most fitting solutions are.
Nature sets the problems and picks the solutions, and all we get
a hand in is measuring the shadows that they cast on our grounds.
It's the darndest thing about intractable and undecidable problems --
they won't go away just because we call them names. And if Nature
tosses a problem our way, and says solve it or die, well, so be it.
We'll just have to do our best.
Now, what is that?
