Not familiar with that phrase. Your own, or is there a backstory to it?

Enlightment viewed as Reason vs tradition aith popular and dispersed knowledge. The main take from Hayek is the taxis vs kosmos opposition. Taxis = top-bottom, planned order. Kosmos = bottom-top, natural, customary order.

Taxis seems close to James Scott’s idea of authoritarian high modernism in seeing like a state

Close but not so close. Hayek however claimed the need for a state. He was no anarchist for sure.
