Science can't give us all the answers
The idea that science can provide us with all the answers to problems is impractical as it could potentially rob us of experiences that shape our lives. Computational irreducibility means there are some things in life that science won't always be able to solve, hence politicians have the responsibility of making important decisions.

The complexity and diversity of viruses within the context of collective human intelligence creates computational irreducibility that gives meaning to our lives.
37:43 - 39:30 (01:46)
Summary
The complexity and diversity of viruses within the context of collective human intelligence creates computational irreducibility that gives meaning to our lives. As we play with and figure out the different types of viruses, including the millions of different species, we essentially achieve something and ultimately gain insights into existential truths.
