You may know how to ride a bike. Can you reverse engineer and explain in an algorithmic way how to ride a bike? No. Does that invalidate the fact that you can indeed ride a bike? Of course not.

The selfish genes strike again. Humans (animals) are machines evolved to replicate their genes, who don’t care how happy or unhappy their replication machines are.

Deployability (or lack thereof.)
