I just wonder who this message is intended to reach. How will my bills get paid if I decide to pursue a life of slow productivity? Seems to be a message for those who are already living a pretty damn good life, who’ve had the experience of not having a choice over what work they do. Alienates most of the population who produce what slow productivity experts need to survive….

That sounds a lot like a shinny sell on perfectionism. Thats not sustainable either. Everyone’s always running from one extreme to the next. And trying to put life into absolutes. Whatever happened up balance?
