How an Algorithm Feels from the Inside http://lesswrong.com/lw/no/how_an_algorithm_feels_from_inside/, (February 2008)
Context: People cling to their intuitions, I think, not so much because they believe their cognitive algorithms are perfectly reliable, but because they can't see their intuitions as the way their cognitive algorithms happen to look from the inside. And so everything you try to say about how the native cognitive algorithm goes astray, ends up being contrasted to their direct perception of the Way Things Really Are—and discarded as obviously wrong.

“The perceptibility of things is not the end of their being.”
Source: Who Is Man? (1965), Ch. 5<!-- Disavowal of transcendence, p. 85 -->
Context: The perceptibility of things is not the end of their being. Their surface is available to our tools, their depth is immune to our inquisitiveness.
Things are both available and immune. We penetrate their physical givenness, we cannot intuit their secret. We measure what they exhibit, we know how they function, but we also know that we do not know what they are, what they stand for, what they imply.
