‘If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn’t.’

I don’t have the attibution for this quote from an IBM engineer, which may be apocryphal, but does say something about our ongoing quest for knowledge and meaning. It was in my notes along with many other quotes about neuroscience, the kind of thing that I thought I might be able to spin up into a “think piece,” but rarely get around to.
