Hello, S.C.V. :o)

thank you for introducing your book! Holistic approach sounds correct (of course! :))); I wonder if the book explores complex and fine matters described by Plato, below?

"There will be no end to the troubles of states, or of humanity itself, till philosophers become kings in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and power and philosophy thus come into the same hands."

Thank you,

Dr Jasmine

"There ..."

In my view, Plato was not helpful. Yes, if you have a perfect ruler, society will work perfectly, but (a) ego and the desire for power means that the ruler will degrade, (b) wher edo you find such a person in the first place, and (c) why doesn't someone with less philosophy block the route for our "perfect ruler"?

Hi Ian :o)

Yes, I agree- the way current stage of human is (as in, current stage of evolutionary development of a human) , I cannot imagine where will you find a ruler like this.. Great men- they all have egos, right? Great women- they might not have egos- but will they really want to run a country/planet ? they might prefer to just have a happy family life. : ( :))) lol

Hello Jasmine :-)

I think all important leaders have big egos - otherwise they wouldn't get there. As for women, think of Margaret Thatcher - not exactly a shrinking violet. Nor Angela Merkel.

We had Jacinda Ardern. She did a good job with the start of the Covid outbreak, but flushed with success, she lurched into a "big-spend" program on pet programs that really ended up not doing anything of value and is the primary cause of our current economic problems. I don't think there is any gender difference regarding power, other than the means of getting it.

Ian - You make some good points BUT I really must take issue with your comment that "We had Jacinda Ardern. She did a good job with the start of the Covid outbreak, but flushed with success..."

More and more Kiwis would strongly dispute that as more information surfaces showing New Zealand's response to the pandemic (enforced lockdowns, vax mandates, school closures etc.) was simply pandering to the whims of the WHO and the likes of Gates and Big Pharma and was totally over the top.

And for what? For a FLU virus (aka COVID-19) that had an infection fatality rate no worse than the IFR in a bad flu season.

As for Ardern's assertion she was saving lives... the jury's out on that as more and more reports of vaccine injuries & deaths emerge despite the media's attempts to censor them.

Remember when she assured Kiwis "We are the pulpit of truth."? (We being her government).

All scientific debate on the subject of vaccine was stifled.
Ardern's deputy advised unvaxxed Kiwis "We are coming to get you."

It seems you have a short memory, Ian.

NZ is still struggling to recover from Ardern's "leadership" in those dreadful years with a generation of school children (who were never at risk from C19) virtually lost with record levels of truancy and high school dropouts.

Nothing "successful" about it.

P.S.
Ardern is the only New Zealand P.M. or former P.M. that I recall who needs bodyguards when she ventures anywhere outdoors in NZ since she resigned. No surprises there... https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politic...

Lance, I did say, at the start of the outbreak. The virus then was nothing like it ended up as. Look at the deaths in the US. We avoided that. What seems to have happened after that is it swapped genetic material with other corona viruses and lost its toxicity.

The first lockdown (was it six weeks?) was very sensible, and the paying of businesses to shut down was sensible. It eliminated the virus.

It was what happened after that that the wheels fell off. Once the virus was eliminated, all she had to do was manage the border, but she botched that in just about every way possible, and once the vaccine became available, then she should have offered the vaccine and given information on it, but left it to the individual. The school issue was awful. It was known that the initial SARS-Cov-2 did not affect the young because the initial virus had only one infection mechanism and that was blocked for children because they had yet to develop the receptors

But Ardern's biggest failing was what happened elsewhere in the economy after that. She sprayed money around as if she admired the economic policies of the Weimar republic. Our current economic problems are all due to that

Lord Acton was wrong. Power doesn't corrupt. Power reveals.

In the case of Ardern, we can argue the necessities of various Coof policies and their executions. What I think we can agree on was that it gave Ardern a taste of power. What followed was revelation.

Fully agree with para 2

Ian, I strongly disagree that Ardern did a good job with the start of the Covid outbreak.

The first lockdowns and the payouts to sidelined businesses set the scene for what followed, and was held up by the WHO and its lackies as a model for the rest of the world to follow... All for a flu virus the likes of which the world encounters periodically (a la 2018) without panicking and without locking down or mandating (experimental) vaccines.

Not helped by a pliant, Leftie media that fawned over Ardern as if she was a saint.

OK, Lance, we disagree on the first month or so. First, the virus was more lethal than what it evolved into, and second, nobody really knew, so it was fair to take an over-reaction if it were to work. You would have to do something like that if something like Marburg broke out. Hindsight is wonderful, but you don't have it when you need it.

After that short period, I am probably more anti-Ardern than you are.

Ian, no-one really knew at the outset, but many of us smelled the B.S. and suspected something was off.
My suspicions were aroused as soon as the authorities banned that infamous Covid-19 pandemic doco that was filmed and sensationally released late 2019 and immediately branded as misinformation before being removed from all social media. Many of the major players (incl Gates) featured in it and they actually referred to Covid-19 by name and discussed how to convince the world it was deadly and needed vaccines to combat it.

Lance, I was unaware such a doco existed. If. Ardern et al censored that here, I withdraw my first few weeks endorsement. Analysis depends on having access to the facts, and not just the facts one side wants you to hear.
