> We're just not wired for enough internal access to look at how our own minds work.

How can you justify saying this, given we (as a species) are less than 100 years into the exploration of our own minds? At best, you could argue that we do not yet have the vocabulary to argue how our minds work. It's a bit early to suggest we "are not wired" to understand our own cognition.

Well half of those years we've been using additional "wires" (computers) and ramping up dramatically our reliance on our cyborg halves in the pursuit, so I don't think it's crazy to suggest he original pre-cyborg wiring was inadequate to he task.
