Not to say companies like Lego aren’t cynical, but they do genuinely engage with storytelling and the psychology of play.
Zuru on the other hand seems to have no real interest in children at all. Just a set of market segments to extract from. Hypernomalized gamified direct-to-landfill objects.

A point for #nzpol Treaty principles submissions- David Seymour implies nowhere else have Indigenous people’s rights been enshrined in law-he’s incorrect-he also argues critics need to show how ‘modern’ nations move forward with such arrangements-here are 20 examples e-tangata.co.nz/korero/un-sp....

Isn't it... curious how we can't possibly take GST off fresh fruit and vegetables or manage a wealth tax without sending the administrative state howling into the gridlocked void, but a convoluted S&M-tinged surveillance state for beneficiaries?

2/ Coddling middle class white people into a society of individuals and nuclear families, where before they had lived in extended family networks, created the current pathological ideology of the exalted individual. Every adult gets a car, making life unlivable for people with no car.

No surprise that stability of housing - a human right - improves quality of life. Something that motivated Generation Rent and call for more tenure security among a suite of policies (8+ yrs ago). www.bwb.co.nz/books/genera...

So many abusers will frame abuse in this way.
"I want you to learn and this (violence/harm/withholding access to resources) is how I am teaching you to be better"
I gotta tell you those who have lived in abusive circumstances DO NOT GET BETTER with this type of treatment. They get hurt.
