  Emergent behavior can end up looking a lot like something out
  of left field.

  Saying something is "emergent" might just be a roundabout way
  of saying, "We don't really get it".

  But figuring out where the "invisible hand of the market" comes from
  is still way easier than wrapping your head around how consciousness
  shows up given what we know about physics, chemistry, and biology.
