gollark: Devastating life changing events aren't really all that likely, but unexpected somewhat bad or good or just extremely weird ones will crop up with *some* frequency.

gollark: That sounds like possibly excessive pessimism. Intelligence would be coming up with long term plans which are flexible enough to be able to deal with changing circumstances, and being able to execute on them.
gollark: I tend to over*research* stuff in advance a lot, but not actually plan based on it because I would never stick to it anyway.
gollark: I see.
