Problem Solving

The statement “you can’t solve a problem until you understand it” is a sleight of hand. The reader will naturally assume “once I understand it I can solve it.” Understanding HOW the poison kills you does not make it safe to drink it. Understanding HOW the brain chemicals etc. intensify your temptations does not mean you are better equipped to fight the temptations. You can’t beat it. That’s the point. That is why God commands us not to fight it in the first place.
