KAIROS

A young man hurrying along, with wings on his ankles and on his back. He balances a set of scales on a razor blade; things hang in the balance. His prominent forelock is well-defined, allowing you to take time by the forelock. The bald patch at the back of his head makes it clear: if you’re too late, you’ll slip.
In Late Capitalism the rule is: time is money; any attempt to slow down is damaging.
