the promise associated with an individual is best signaled by their actions, and not their words

today, the strength of an individuals words is often compromised by hosting a contest for who can affirm public expectation the most

leading strictly according to public expectation is the opposite of leadership

therefore, entering the competition to juggle agreeing with as many people as possible while exceeding their expectation as "leader" produces a creature whose only substance is the ingratiating conduct they tender in exchange for approval

the archetype public affirmer who judges in favor of public approval instead of facts unlikely has the capacity to solve any other problem except how they are publicly perceived. of course, installing the contest winner in an office where they are allowed to falsify the mechanics of trade will produce a sinkhole of debt that swallows an economy whole

the inability of the public to hold the words of a policy author to an empirical standard of accountability is what indulges the promotion of entertainers over effective policy authors

systemaccounting empowers the public to detect individuals who, after issuing their words, achieve distinction by proving them through their actions

as the distinction between the imaginary and the physical increases with clarity, those who previously sought to advance themselves by promoting fiction, i.e. words predicting no physical quantity, will find they are unequal to the task of competing for the trust of others

fiction has no place in leadership markets supplying many promising candidates preferring honest work and meekness to self-promotion
