But if I asked, 'Do you understand New York City?' you would probably respond, 'What do you mean?' There's all this complexity. If you can't understand New York City, it's not because you can't get access to the data. It's just there's so much going on at the same time. That's what a human brain is." Read more in Nautilis.
