Life is and will ever remain an equation incapable of solution, but it contains certain known factors.
One of the things that free people do is engage in conspiracies of silence about problems that do not seem solvable.
Such as slavery in the early days of the Republic.
There is one vast human experience that confronts us so formidably that we cannot pretend to overlook it. There is no solution to death. There is no means whatever whereby you or I, by taking thought, can solve this difficulty in such a manner that it no longer exists.
There are sometimes problems for which there is no immediate solution, and there are sometimes problems for which there is no solution.
Some issues have no solutions. If no solution comes, then you should leave it as it is. If you hit a road where you have no solution, it is best you don't touch it.
There are problems in this universe for which there are no answers. Nothing. Nothing can be done.
If you come from mathematics, as I do, you realize that there are many problems, even classical problems, which cannot be solved by computation alone.
The problems for which I could find no solution in fact had no solution.
For an answer which cannot be expressed the question too cannot be expressed. The riddle does not exist.
The fundamental difference between the mystery story and the ghost story is the fact that a mystery demands a solution for its effectiveness; a ghost story is necessarily unsolvable; the reader must be willing to accept the fact that nothing is proved.
I think our problems are inherently unsolvable. We need to change our genetic make-up or create computers that will think us out of it. I don't think humans are able to deal with what we have.
I return to problems i can't solve, not because i am an idiot, but because the real problems can't be solved. The universe is expanding. The more we see, the more we discover there is to see. Always a new beginning, a different end.
