"I don’t make the rules. This is just how humans interact with the world."
Yet people have the capacity to change and can choose to interact with the world more thoughtfully.
I don't think one should trust a politician that sells a political campaign like Domino's sell pizza, no matter how effective they are.
Some things are a lot easier to sell than others. Sex sells, individualism, greed, hatred and fear sells, mindless entertainment and junk food sells. But things like communal good, long-term environmental integrity, universal human dignity, sustainable business practices or equal economic opportunities are not easy to sell.
I agree we can all learn from how Domino's sell pizzas, but their approach favours the easy selling stuff.
This is great perspective and I think you're totally right about the approach. Domino's is selling $14 pizza. Politicians are trying to sell trust. I agree that they shouldn't be exactly the same. They can't. People are ready to believe Domino's will deliver in 30 minutes. People don't trust politicians by default.
I guess my point here is less about using the same approach and more about prioritizing high-level clarity of purpose instead of defining every detail. I hope that makes some sense.
