Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.
We all not only could know everything. We do. We just tell ourselves we don't to make it all bearable.
The most important application of quantum computing in the future is likely to be a computer simulation of quantum systems, because that's an application where we know for sure that quantum systems in general cannot be efficiently simulated on a classical computer.
