We do understand quite a bit of it.
What Skybuck doesn`t seem to grasp is the size of the problem. The
brain alone contains 86 billion neurones
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2776484/
and every last one of them is a pretty complex cell with some
7000 connections each to other neurones.

Very slow eternal life,

Or perhaps Skybuck hasn`t got a clue about the subject.
