Born 1971

2010s

Wherein one nods with political sympathy and says I understand you better than you understand yourself, I'm just here to help you help yourself

Wherein one's legacy comes full circle and posits that you too can exploit and subjugate and fluff yourself up in a splended game of your own jolly adventure

Wherein one, in the name of knowledge, measures everything, gives it a name and publicises this, thereby claiming it

Wherein one surreptitiously performs reconnaissance to collect views and freeze points of view to be reflective of one's own kind
