What do you thing of this latest thing?
There is a pause, and this human raises his head, like some hyena on the savannah
sniffing the wind.
He does not actually holding his finger up to the wind to test prevailing opinions,
but he does so metaphorically, for in many ways like the animal he is using a means
to test both danger and prey.
Fort the human the prevailing wind is the discourse that he has been subjected to of late
and we are made up of these discourses, these consensus's, enshrined in language and there is no escape from language.
