The Metacritique: Deconstructing Prophets

In this, our third step, we shall deconstruct the very notion of prophets themselves. What does it mean to be a prophet? Is it not just a fancy word for 'guy who wears a beard'?

Let's break down the anatomy of a prophet:

• The Bearded Ones: These are the prophets with the most obvious claim to fame. They're the ones you'd recognize in a crowd, their faces plastered on every coffee shop's 'Quote of the Day' calendar.
• The Silent Ones: These are the prophets who only communicate through subtle hints and gestures. They're like the Zen masters of the prophetic world.
• The Self-Prophets: These are the ones who claim to have a direct line to the divine, but really they're just reading from a script they wrote themselves.
• The Meta-Prophets: These are the ones who deconstruct deconstruction, who question the very nature of prophecy itself.

Now that we've deconstructed the deconstructor, where do we go from here?
