Even if Trudeau learned the definition the morning of, it speaks well of his background in engineering and math that he was able to assimilate such information and reformulate it coherently.
Presenting a technical subject at just the right level of sophistication for a given audience is an invigorating intellectual exercise.
- JamilD 11y ago> Presenting a technical subject at just the right level of sophistication for a given audience I don't think the limiting factor here was the intelligence of the audience, given that he was presenting at the Perimeter Institute. That being said, I agree completely on your first point, and it's incredibly refreshing to see a politician make an effort to learn about a technical subject.
- morgante 11y ago> I don't think the limiting factor here was the intelligence of the audience, given that he was presenting at the Perimeter Institute. As the PM, his audience is always far larger than those in the immediate vicinity. Not to mention the gaggle of non-technical journalists who were there.
- James001 11y agoJesus... I was hoping atleast HN wouldn't give Trudeau a press blowjob. I'm from Canada and he is the most incompetent PM we've ever had. If you want to know what the future has for Canada with him as PM, look no further than the most indebted sub-sovereign in the world: Ontario. These guys are corrupt as fuck
- tn13 11y agoHonestly I would not be very surprised if Mr. Trudeau's PR team pulled it off.
