Complexity, tho dazzling and impressive, is apparently a small trick. Consider the simple algorithms that generate fractals, alife and random numbers. Problem-solving intelligence appears to be similar in that we consider it impressive and special, but, in the big scheme, is actually rather trivial and common. Speaking as a person who has spent literally decades enthusiastically chewing upon software design riddles, it makes me feel a bit insectile. I mean, the termites in my walls probably feel what I feel, and they're just playing with mud and spit.
