Mythology does not record whether Trojan priestess Cassandra took grim satisfaction in the vindication of her ignored warnings. I don’t. But I must say “I told you so” when events confirm my claims of some dangerous pattern in public affairs. Including from just last week about widespread disastrous resistance to systematic thought in Canada, from free speech to free trade, unleashing bad policy from muddled theory. Maybe Sean Feucht could sing about it… but not in Canada.
In case you had never heard of Cassandra, sister of Hector, she was gifted with prophecy, but cursed with never being believed. “Don’t take in the wooden horsey thing, it’s an obvious Greek trick,” she said, and the city burned.
