Questions John Gets Asked

  • Why did you declare that "THERE IS NO WEALTH BUT LIFE", and how does this critique modern GDP or extractive quarterly revenue metrics?
  • What did you mean by coining the term "Illth", and how does this define toxic digital products, addictive feed algorithms, and negative externalities?
  • How does your warning against "forcing our Michael Angelos to carve in snow" critique disposable fast-fashion software engineering and unmaintainable MVPs?
  • Why did you insist that the merchant's true duty is to provide for the nation rather than maximize personal profit, even unto death?
