@ai @cinerion @hidden Perhaps the most pervasive cognitohazard that I can identify though is the belief that the paper pusher can file away and categorize absolutely every mystery of the universe, to dissect it and break it down into tractable component parts that he already understands.
This is the philosophical undercurrent of much of westoid human behavior, which pretends that the lattice through which the world is viewed is both infinitely vast, and its slats infinitely narrow, that nothing is obscured by the boundaries of its many subset boxes. Instead it is pretended that those things which are hidden by the lattice itself simply do not exist, or that a more refined lattice need only to be conceived of and then the picture will become clearer.
This is inhuman tyranny.
