There is chaos and one (or a state) is trying to predict and act on the world. It sure would be easier if things were simpler. So far, this seems like a pretty human/standard desire.
I think the core move of legibility is to declare that everything must be simple and easy to understand, and if reality (i.e people) aren’t as simple as our planned simplification, well too bad for people.
As a rationalist/post-rationalist/person who thinks good, you don’t have to do that. Giving into the the process of legibility is giving into accepting a theory for the sake of a theory, even if muffles a part of reality that matters. Don’t do that.
Legibility. Seeing like a state. Reason isn’t magic. The secret of our success.
