I want to pattern-match this with Kegan 3 intuition (big world) vs. Kegan 4 systems (small world). Idea being: our brains are single human-scaled, with a fittingly-limited context window, which is highly compatible with broad heuristics and intuitions. As our power increases, though, and our actions can scale profoundly far beyond ourselves, the needed level of complexity and specificity is beyond the ability of our intuition. Make sense then to reach for more powerful computation: maybe some computer modeling to work out that "if this, then that, then that" chain. Lacking that, I think people in positions of great power get feedback another way e.g. public outrage, failing business objectives, legal battles.
