It reminds me of "At the time we drew boxes labeled 'perception', 'cognition' with arrows between them." An imprecise quote that I can't place.

I guess my box labelled 'subconsciousness' is trying to say that low-level mechanisms that give rise to the observed cognitive phenomena might have nothing to do with neat boxes.

McDermott's A Critique of Pure Reason pretty much captured all of the misgivings I had about "Good Old-Fashioned Artificial Intelligence", which was slightly unfortunate as I was trying to complete a PhD in that very area at the time (around 1990 or so...)

Donald Broadbent drew a lot of boxes in the 50s/60s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadbent's_filter_model_of_at...). There have been plenty of critics of this tendency, I recall some calling it 'boxology' rather than psychology.
