Abstract
The organization of high dimensional random `rugged' landscapes has some universal features, some of them quite anti-intuitive to humans used to think in low dimensions. The dynamics within such landscapes is also quite anti-intuitive, for the same reasons. I will describe how one may learn from analytic solutions of simplified models, and some conjectures that one would like to prove.
