Making a shallow and superficial pretence at dealing with or addressing something - commonly, in my experience, done by petty bureaucrats (can be in corporations as well as government) to cover up not having thought about something, people who are sock puppets of their parents because they have not examined themselves or their lives, or people trying to take the easy way out of potentially awkward situations such as committing discrimination.

In workplaces, there is often (in my nation, at any rate) a push to ensure people who are the victims of discrimination get "mental health support" (meaning, counselling or psychological / psychiatric attention) when the ones who are most desperately in need of psychological / psychiatric intervention are the bigots who are doing the abusing.
From my post at https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2011/07/deity.html:
My view of Deity tends towards the hierarchical arrangement of "Manu's", a bit like a chain of managers, described by Lobsang Rampa. Each of these people is learning and growing, and, in fact, the Ultimate Creator type level, that which "the Nine" defined in Stuart Holroyd's book "Briefing for the Landing on Planet Earth" as
Lucid dreaming refers to a state where one is aware that one is dreaming (see also here, here, here, and here).

given that lucid dreaming refers to a state where one is aware that one is dreaming (see also here, here, here, and here), I wonder if a term for living in a spiritual ("mindful", to use a fad term) way could be "lucid living"? That would inherently cover living in a sustainable and inclusive way, as ignoring the climate crisis or being a bigot are inherently unspiritual.
It might also be a constructive riposte to those intellectual cowards / sufferers of LBI/FBU/FoC / enforcers of conformity (aka sock puppets of the elite) who misuse terms such as "woke" as a derogatory reference . . .
In recent years, usage of this phrase as a pejorative has tended to refer to fake online accounts, however, originally it meant someone who was being manipulated by someone else as thoroughly as someone does when they put their hand into a sock and use it as a form of puppet.
It's original use was, in part, a term of crudity - but the meaning of someone who is being thoroughly controlled or deeply is an agent of someone else (such as "enforcers of conformity", agents-provocateur, and other agents of the elite(s) ) still actually applies - fake online accounts are just one form of the original, wider term.
