Don't you think life is like a Rubik's Cube?

No, I don't think life is like a Rubik's cube at all. When you do an algorithm perfectly on a Rubik's cube, you never get a completely unexpected result. In life, you might have great lookahead until you get to the PLL, and then you do a U perm and somehow you're back at the cross with everything else scrambled.
 
Life is more complex than any twisty puzzle.
No amount of scrutiny will give you definitive answers to some problems.
There are no inverses. There are no commutators. What you do is unable to be taken back.
There are no algorithms that induce a particular result with certainty.
You cannot look at life, close your eyes, move about, and know that things are the way you want them to be.
 
Maxwell Smart: Yes, 99, but there's an old Chinese proverb that goes: life is like a pair of chopsticks. If you grab them... eh, you, eh... No, that's not it. Let me see... Ehm... Life is like a shirt. If you lose your buttons, you... No, that isnt it either. Let's see... I've got it! Life is a kumquat.

# 99: That's it?

Maxwell Smart: Life isn't a kumquat?
