Spend a single minute watching this before you read what follows.
The debate we’ve had here — is the political class in the Western democracies made up of breathtakingly incompetent fools, or are they darkly clever plotters who are destroying things on purpose? — still matters in many ways. But for the purpose of choosing a course in your own life, it doesn’t matter.

Where that goes over the course of time, and what the resolution looks like, is a different matter, but you can start by simply rejecting whatever a Justin Trudeau or an Anthony Fauci tell you to do. Below, I will illustrate the correct application of this important principle:
