It’s not a trick. It’s that we don’t know how to study these things yet, but that shouldn’t be an excuse for throwing our hands up in the air and not trying to investigate them. Gravity wasn’t always well crystallized. It took us time to develop and understand it.

I highly recommend Stafford Beer’s writings and the Designing Freedom book and/or lectures.
