The world is so complex that we don’t know how complex it is. We have been tricked by our own success. In simple domains, we marvel at our own engineering and imagine it could be duplicated in complex domains. But bridges, rockets, and computers are extraordinarily simple compared to the biological, social, political, or economic world. Engineering in complex domains is frequently a bad idea—the wrong levers get yanked and end up causing more harm than good.
Unfortunately, I must say, you are heavily underplaying the complexities of the sciences, if anything in our reality can be considered "complex" it is because of science, we marvel at technological advances because each advancement is an asymptotic step closer to understanding the complex nature of science, which in turn allows us to understand the nature of reality a bit more. Domains such as the economical domain are subservient to humans as there is no economy without humans, and we humans as we already know are subservient to science.
Climate is another... imagine being able to "control" it using the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere as a thermostat regulating the temperature in one's home! I wonder when governments around the world will start taxing EM emissions to regulate the shift in the Earth's magnetic field?
Yes, unfathomable complexity is found at every level. The firing of a single neurone cannot be modelled with absolute certainty. Groups of neurones interact in ways that are exponentially more complex. And so on up through individuals, societies and economies.
I’d go one step further than you and rather than saying “Nature handles this complexity”, Nature would not exist without complexity. Life can evolve only through the inherent complex-criticality of natural systems.
