"It is only insofar as some sort of order arises as a result of individual action but without being designed by any individual that a problem is raised."

Problem solving is the process of achieving a goal by overcoming obstacles, a frequent part of most activities. Problems in need of solutions range from simple personal tasks to complex issues in business and technical fields. The former is an example of simple problem solving (SPS) addressing one issue, whereas the latter is complex problem solving (CPS) with multiple interrelated obstacles. Anot

"Basic human problems can have no final solutions."
"At a given moment, the time may simply not be ripe to solve a particular problem. Progress on something else might be needed first, and the necessary clue might come from a different direction. In the case of quantum gravity, the unexpected direction was string theory."
"I spent a lifetime trying to avoid my own mental biases. (A) I rub my nose in my own mistakes. (B) I try to keep it simple and fundamental as I can. And I like the engineering concept of a margin of safety. I am a very blocking-and-tackling kind of a thinker. I just try and avoid being stupid. And I have a way of handling a lot of problems. I put them on what I call my too-hard pile. And I just leave them there. Im not trying to succeed in my too-hard pile."
"Heres how to look at problems: Problems are guidelines, not stop signs!"
