 Trudeau conducts a lot of business behind secret closed door meetings. I dont doubt that hes stupid but what is he doing behind closed doors? Discussing his favorite recipe? Or is he maliciously conspiring against me?

 What about all the other meetings behind closed doors. Who wins, whose conspiracy will win? 

Because of computational irreducibility (Wolfram), we don't know, we have to let everything play out. All the people behind closed doors have their plans, and even that they have a lot of power on paper, we actually have huge leverage. It is super hard to control many (and there are many competing for the control), yet we can easily figure out how not to be controlled.

 In the end most conspiracies conducted by my servants are to screw me.
