I will defend Jacinda on that accusation of "phoney". All of us have terabytes of swirling neuron circuitry out of which we decide to present words and facial expressions and gestures and actions. It's a mess of incoming reality, memories, rules of thumb, preferred paradigms, fears and wants. And we all know it's a mess in there which might or might not give good outcomes. From experience we think we're on the right track at any time, more or less, near enough for government work. But we know reality can smack us "upside the head" at any time, so our ideas are subject to change without notice. Unfortunately for us, reality is constantly coming ready or not. So we're never totally ready for it. Mostly people feel the need to express a lot of confidence in our ideas that we have at any time. In the face of reality, we have to have that confidence in our singular intention. If we don't have that confidence, we slice the golf ball out into the duck pond or into the trees to the left. It's a fascinating interaction between reality and our minds. A flicker of consciousness leads to carnage. Being in the zone, with "flow", it's magical how reality complies with our minds (mine anyway, if I take a solipsistic view of the process). Jacinda I guess has a comparable brain to the principle. When we don't have flow happening, we have to fake it until we make it. Jacinda had flow for decades, succeeding gloriously in her ambition. While her output matched reality politically she was gloriously in the zone. But her operating paradigm: commie, "caring", take opm to do good things, racist (giving Maoris special powers and opm) and bossy, lost ground with the public. Faking it isn't enough. The duck pond, trees, rabbit holes, took over no matter how much she tried to smile and fake it. Her political handicap went way out to the 20s from low single figures. Okay, I admit I'm not making good progress in this theory of phoney. She's a bloody fake with ideology that leads to millions dead. She's on the spectrum... and well into the phoney zone. Some people are obstinate, obdurate, bloody minded, fixated, stuck in groupthink, delusional, dishonest, careless, self-centred, crooked, greedy, thieving, bossy and plain mean, venal evil doers. Some less so, some further into the spectrum. I disliked her declaring war on Russia which is nass hysteria writ large. WWI commemorations were on while WWIII was being started and she's in it along with the WEFers. She should not have done that. She should have gone full steam ahead on ceasefire and negotiations on settlement by electoral process with UN supervision and reconstitution of the IN WWII Victor's Club. I blame the electorate more than Jacinda. There are decent people making bad decisions because of their false paradigms. It's quite a problem = individual vs the state, internal reality vs external reality vs other peoples' ideas of reality (such as where that apostrophe should be). Let's blame the electorates not the politicians. Unless as in Eastern Ukraine the politicians refuse to allow and arrange for electorates to have their say. Jacinda for example. Evil incarnate. But paradoxically she thinks she's kind. Even if she's phoney. Mqurice
