Call me a retard if you must, but could brains which evolved naturally be somewhat like a computer designed to solve this problem?
The brain does not calculate the entire exp(n) operation or come up with a 100% accurate solution, what it does is gravitate towards something reasonably accurate.
For instance a fish does not know how to act perfectly in perpetuating its genes, however it can recognize female fish and hone in on prey, it has some capacity to learn about its environment, where to hide from predators, where food sources are likely to be found, etcetera.
It would take a massive computer to calculate every variable in this fish's life and figure out how it can act perfectly to achieve the goal of spreading its genes but this would obviously be a strain on material resources, so evolution has found a cheaper though less accurate solution.
