It’s interesting to watch Canada’s Conservatives right now. Trudeau blindsided them by doing the MOST UNEXPECTED THING IN THE WORLD. He started serving the nation. The Conservatives didn’t have a Plan B, which is completely understandable.
A politician serving the people is the blackest of black swans, the most GENUINELY unexpected event of all. It’s like a termite building a house or a gun sucking bullets into its barrel. You don’t need to develop an alternative strategy for those events.
Most loudly advertised “unprecedented” “historical firsts” are drably predictable. Some are just permanent facts of nature like weather cycles or business cycles. Others, like the First Womxn or First Latinx to reach some job or office, are flatout lies. Many other women or Hispanics or Natives had been in the same type of job or office, but they weren’t, you know, the right sort. When the right sort gets the job, it counts as brand new.

The Canadian people might have been blindsided as well, but they adjusted and adapted properly. They recognized that Trudeau and Carney are doing the right thing NOW. Most people aren’t limited by principles and theories. They just ask What are you doing for me right now?
Principles and theories instruct us that What are you doing for me right now? is an unacceptable form of corruption. Nope, it’s the only sane and RATIONAL way to live in an era of universal top-level evil. There’s no room for theories in a prison or a war zone.
