More From Harold MacMillan

The fact is that in england so many of our politicians are career politicians - they've always been politicians since they left their education. and in the old days of course politicians used to be fish mongers or doctors or whatever. they'd lived life. these days, power seems to go to the hands of people that that's all they've done. and i'm not sure that's a good thing, because it does remove them from the realities of life.
Reality People Done
One of my optimistic prophecies is based on the assumption that machines could have the best algorithms in the universe, but it will never have purpose. and the problem for us to explain purpose to a machine is because we don't know what our purpose is. we have the purpose, but we still ... when we look at this global picture, a universal picture, to understand what is our purpose being here on this planet? we don't know.
Optimistic Purpose Assumption
Because a true sense of purpose is deeply emotional, it serves as a compass to guide us to act in a way completely consistent with our values and beliefs. purpose does not need to involve calculations or numbers. purpose is about the quality of life. purpose is human, not economic.
Emotional Numbers Quality
Good leaders set vision, missions, and goals. great leaders inspire every follower at every level to internalize their purpose, and to understand that their purpose goes far beyond the mere details of their job. when everyone is united in purpose, a positive purpose that serves not only the organization but also, hopefully, the world beyond it, you have a winning team.

What politicians want and what creative writers want will always be profoundly different, because i'm afraid all politicians, of whatever hue, want propaganda, and writers want the truth, and they're not compatible.
Creative Different Hue
If we meet an honest and intelligent politician, a dozen, a hundred, we say they aren't like politicians at all, and our category of politicians stays unchanged; we know what politicians are like.
