It’s a discussion of religion and tradition as systems which incorporate a lot of knowledge in a way which cannot be articulated easily, and about the distinction between this implicit cultural knowledge (metis) and formal knowledge (episteme), which I think maps pretty well to “your grandmother’s advice” versus “Soviet-Harvard knowledge”.

The frame is a review of James Scott’s book Seeing Like a State, which I also suspect you’d like.
