>for some reason i haven’t really figured out yet, it seemed really important for this to say that in order to be “contact with the territory”, an experience has to be able to resist and correct my {anticipations / implicit models}, not just my explicit verbal models.
yes i absolutely agree, and i think this intuition that we share (...or, the apparent similarity between our two intuitions?) is a lot of what’s behind the Knowing essay. something something deep mastery.
i’m only saying one thing in this whole essay series, just from a bunch of different angles, and this bit of your comment for sure picks out one of the angles.
or maybe more importantly, if you’re trying to develop rationality, as an art, to be practiced by a community whose actions matter, and you aren’t somehow aimed at deep mastery, then you’re doing it wrong.
