The best prophylaxis to brake these hubristic heuristic tendencies is
Wittgenstein's checker: The world is everything that is the case, and that
of which we cannot speak, of that we must remain silent.
Wasn't it Borges who wrote that for a map to be sufficiently detailed as to replicate the landscape
it would would have to be huge- so huge that it would become a feature of the landscape? Thus
it is that to deeply understand we must intrude and disturb, making everything different.
