Lovely paper on the importance of gatherings as sources of fatefulness: journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.117 (via … ironically published in '19!)
"Social occasions are more likely than other kinds of time to house events that unexpectedly shift the trajectory of individual lives."

I would like some more fatefulness in my life please!
I don't know how to square this with a strong sense of self-efficacy, etc: like, I don't exactly *want* to be tossed around by the winds of fate! And yet it's hard to sail a ship with just the wind from one's own lungs…

Interesting...would you prefer to be fated to journeys or fated to destinations? It seems to be that 'fatefulness' has a propensity toward the latter...that it may be better to arrive at a port even if it is the wrong one (rather than never at all).

That's a fun question! I think the former, though I can make a case for both.
