Glossary: "egregore" (because I've had to explain this to non-twitter friends a few times too many and there seem to be no linkable explanations on the net):https://www.synkretie.net/writings/egregores.html …

"Since they are subject to market forces first and foremost, their goals are among the most estranged from a regular human's." I would substitute 'legible' for 'estranged'.

Those are completely different things though? A corporation's goals are kind of legible yes, but the idea was that they're still alienated (estranged) from those of humans

Legible means they're somewhat comprehensible/predictable from a human standpoint. The comparison I sometimes use is that corporations are demonic, religions are divine: demons have to obey contracts, gods refuse all constraint.

You can tell what a corporation is going after in the next quarter, because they'll tell you. A social justice mob could go after *anyone*.

And so on. Rather than being alienated from human concerns, corporations are the *tamest* kind of egregore, the easiest kind to cooperate with without being enslaved or murdered.

that's overly pessimistic though, a big band or village choir for example won't murder anybody (usually)
