Ps and Js: Dominic Cummings

Dominic Cummings comes across as INTP; Boris as ENTP. It's not surprising that both see through the map (the literalism of regulations) into the territory (the underlying problem the regulations are meant to address).

Lawyers and media journalists tend to be Js. ENTJs and ENFJs are perhaps their most effective types. Fixated on the letter of the law, not the spirit. Attack dogs. Gotcha!

It's interesting that the Myers-Briggs dimensions are also dimensions of people talking past each other, inhabitants of different worlds:

- NT truth-seekers/problem solvers vs. NF moralists/SJWs.
- Extraverts (Communities! Parties! Share!) vs. Introverts (Give me a break!).
- Intuitives (here's how to think about this) vs. Sensors (what do you want done?).

Beneath the barrage of weaponised moralising, has anyone failed to notice that this is a sustained attack by the Remain/neoliberal bubble against a government which is trying to invent a 'one-nation' politics for our post-neoliberal times?

The critics' time has run its course; they have no strategy. It was sufficient for a resolute government to keep its nerve and hang in there.

I'm reading the Greg Mandel trilogy by Peter Hamilton again; two thirds through. The novels are a combination of military-SF, thriller and detective story. I think Hamilton does really well.
