Given that we don’t know why electromagnetism exists, this is basically true for many technologies.

    What do you mean? We know quite well how electromagnetism arises from U(1) symmetry in gauge theory. What else is there to know?

        Not from bribes and/or moving faster than the regulators. Altman's projects, on the other hand...

        At some point the answer is “because that’s what reality is.”

    We don't know why the world itself exists so everything is magic

      This is true, and the fact that humans mostly become blind to this magic past the age of 5 is one of the reasons we live in such a dismal world.

      There doesn’t need to be a why the world exists. It does that’s all there is to know. There doesn’t have to be purpose just an explanation of how not why

        GP probably meant "how" as in "By what mechanisms" not "why" as in "For what purposes". So "why" as in "what makes it do what it does".
