Examples

“They seem to have a kairotic sense of timing. Some people dismiss this as luck. But it's much more than that.”

“The present captured in a cartoon is a kairotic present—a present that affects the life of a people, the destiny of a nation”

“Regardless of the quantity of the duration, because a kairotic event cannot happen at just “any time,” it is also distinct from an abstract articulation of chance. A kairiotic event does not happen randomly; in some qualititative sense, it is a "time of crisis [and] . . . opportunity," which is solicited or even demanded by the situation itself (Smith 10).”

“Kairotic moments may present themselves to vigilant rhetors, but in turn rhetors can craft a kairotic moment as well.”
