I think it only makes sense in a European worldview. The idea that the decision making problems are algorithmic or mathematical in nature and this abstractable, universalizable, and permanent is a fantasy.
The more abstraction a higher order system has, the less it is able to respond to changes in the lowest order systems. Highly effective mathematical abstractions for decision making will solve a lot of problems in the short term, mostly problems that exist due to inefficiencies that mask solution spaces from us currently.
But once those short-term problems are solved and the inefficiencies in solution searching are gone, the hard problems will still remain.
