Ya, it's a big chaotic mess, but I wonder if we humans are somewhat prone to letting the apparent complexity of it (the actual complexity isn't actually known) scare us away from trying to make sense of it all. Look how much complexity about the physical world that science has come to understand, because we applied some of the sharpest minds we have to the problem, and funded them well.

If we don't even try (including if the idea doesn't even cross our minds), we may never succeed.
