      secrecy by means of non-disclosure is essentially an obsolete phenomenon, so this is the only kind of knowledge worth calling "occult knowledge" at this point:https://twitter.com/literalbanana/status/1193302182478483456 …

      I love that you can explain it as clearly as you like and it's still basically a secret

      there is knowledge that consists of patterns that language and culture are not well set up to encapsulate, whose proper operating level of abstraction isn't something which is commonly understood to exist, and so on, that can be pointed at with language but not specified in it

      esoteric traditions typically speak in some way of this knowledge being "transmitted", the idea being that if you can't get it across by saying it, you can in some way move it around by other media. possibly i may be permitted doubt as to how much of this is actually occurring

      in software engineering, a stellar example of occult knowledge is the Single Responsibility Principle. getting it is a task of induction from example. that's hard, though, so instead people move around simple verbal statements about it that are wronghttps://hackernoon.com/you-dont-understand-the-single-responsibility-principle-abfdd005b137 …

      the SRP is directly and effectively occulted *by* the easy-to-understand presentations which are made of it. and we see with the millions of Java architecture astronauts it has spawned that this kind of thing can be massively destructive. be careful with the occult, kids

      Is “occulting” a form of Feynman falsifiability test? If I say dependency injection is a dictionary of functions, or blockchain is a linked list, but I can’t do the same thing for SRP, is that the tell?

      seems about like it, yeah probably one could get a good metric of occultation from the median number of iterations of "no, not like that" one would go through trying to tell somebody what the thing is and them trying to replicate it
