Rob Jetten becomes The Netherland’s first openly gay prime minister

In a historic victory for representation and progressive politics, Rob Jetten has been sworn in as the first openly gay Prime Minister of the Netherlands.

At 38 years old, the centrist Democrats 66 leader is also the youngest head of government in Dutch history. Jetten successfully formed a minority coalition government following a tense election that defeated far-right populist opponents. His platform prioritizes climate investment, economic fairness, and strong international collaboration.

Jetten’s premiership powerfully reaffirms the Netherlands' global legacy as a pioneer of LGBTQ+ equality and inclusive, cooperative democratic leadership.

Supernatural aid vs. natural resourcing

In the hero's journey, the hero requires supernatural aid that gives them (or helps them realize) special powers to complete their quest. Think Obi-Wan, Dumbledore, or Morpheus. Suddenly, they have access to tremendous gifts that set them apart from, and above, mere mortals. And with those gifts, much is expected of them.

This is yet another way the hero's journey framework defies reality. These kinds of superpowers simply don't exist in our world in the same way.

In contrast, the antihero simply taps into the natural resourcing of the universe through a regular mindfulness, contemplative, or spiritual practice that connects them to presence.

This resourcing offers power— the power of peace, clarity, and resilience. But it is not special. It is completely ordinary. It is available to each and every one of us in each and every moment. There is nothing super about it.

In Spider-Man, Uncle Ben famously says, "With great power comes great responsibility."

Fortunately, you do not have great power. You have normal power, and therefore normal, manageable responsibility.

Love,
Peter
