Noetic 

A kind of Metarational awareness or insight, like intuition but more conscious and grounded in reason.

(Noesis (Greek: νόησις) comes from Greek, and means insight, similar to intellection or intelligence.

It refers to "inner knowing," a kind of intuitive consciousness, or direct and immediate access to knowledge beyond what is available to our normal senses or the power of reason.

It was like they were blessed with some noetic faculty that enabled them to leap beyond the confines of what their senses or their research indicated, and land directly on the heart of the dynamics of the reality they were investigating.

Noetic Ableism

Noetic ableism is the systemic marginalization, pathologizing, or suppression of people whose forms of awareness, intuition, perception, or consciousness falls outside dominant cultural norms. It is similar to ableism, but instead of policing bodies and cognitive styles, it polices modes of awareness and ways of knowing.

Core Mechanism:

A culture creates an acceptable bandwidth of consciousness.
Experiences outside that range are:

-dismissed
-ridiculed
-medicalized
-spiritually distorted
-commodified

The goal (intentionally or not) becomes mantaining a narrow consensus reality.

If you have ever experienced noetic ableism you will know in your bones that ridcule becomes a soft form of social control, that others try to claim authority over your self-determined understanding of your own conscious evolution, and that spiritual emergence is often wrongly pathologized and the harm internalized.

Noetic Futility

The disappointment that surfaces mid-explanation, when you realize the person you're explaining something to lacks the capacity to grasp its complexity; the felt futility of continuing, distinct from frustration at their unwillingness to try.

Their confused nod at my explanation of 'epistemic responsibility' left me in a state of noetic futility.
