« Epistemological Sobriety »

"There is a point beyond which the senses cannot lead us... Out-of-body experiences aim to shed the senses, but they cannot... One may see from a new perspective, but it's still an experience of vision... Never will we leave the palace of our perceptions." (Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses)
This is what I call "epistemological sobriety." Mind, know your limitations.
