The universe is wider than our views of it.

Some people take the view that we happen by accident. I think that there is something much deeper, of which we have very little inkling at the moment.

I just look at what's going on in the world.

The wider world is a click away, but whether we mean to or not, we're usually filtering it out.

Our potential adversaries are watching us, and they have seen what has happened to us... This is why we're dealing with a very problematical and troublesome Putin, and we're dealing with Iran in a very terrible agreement we had.

We have to slowly, carefully, and thoughtfully align all of our interests.

So I think that we're in a very heightened and somewhat unusual period of politics and polling around the countries that New Zealanders take close interest in.

We see more and more of our Presidents and know less and less about what they do.

I would not go so far as to say that we are completely changing our outlook.

There is a lot of noise and conflict in our political discourse, which is fun to cover, but I'm convinced from my travels that people also thirst for more details as well as insight and context.
