gollark: If I want to cross a chasm with a bridge, or something, I can draw on my limited knowledge of physics and materials science and whatever and put together a somewhat sensible prototype, then make inferences from what happens to it, and get something working out.
gollark: No. We can reason about problems in various ways. So can some animals.
gollark: It doesn't have its own will. It's a giant non-agent mess driven by tons of interacting blind optimization processes.
