“The problem with solutionism... It assumes that rationality has the tools to solve every problem. ... We think problems are decidable because we only see the decidable ones. We don't see the infinite number of problems we can't solve because it's so difficult even to describe them. We are finite creations and can solve problems only if we can develop algorithms --finite procedures-- for reaching the correct answers. Most problems do not have solutions that are reducible to finite procedures. To assume the world is built so we can figure it out is absurd.”
