Theoretical computer science is largely, perhaps primarily, concerned with the complexity of algorithms. Without going into it in huge detail, there are categories of problems (such as NP-Complete and NP-Hard) which are currently understood to be extremely difficult or impossible to solve in a reasonable amount of time using any known or postulated computational device, including quantum computers.
Yet humans are, sometimes, able to access a capability that we refer to as "insight" to solve a selected few of these problems very quickly.
Where does this capability come from?
