Interesting read. Just got reminded because someone with a _similar name_ registered within these forums ;).

No, seriously @fosskers, great article, and very likely captivating to the Lisp folks here.

To be clearer, I don’t think growth or striving are bad. In fact I think they’re critical to humanity and the human experience. My point was that there has to be some underlying aim to the growth. Growth can’t be its own aim.
