He's 61. It's very possible he's quite content with the worldview he has developed over the last 61 years.

Why would you create chaos for yourself when things are working just fine? Process is exactly how you get things done. I love running on chaos energy, but it only takes you so far.

It is is a structural problem that goes much deeper than what the author thinks. "Sticking to the process" is good and important to SOME (!!!) degree for sure. However, doing this blindly will (1) prevent further progress/advancements and more importantly (2) ignore existing problems. The issue with the latter is that one is deliberately ignoring (e.g. ethical) issues, because it's very difficult to unsee things, once they are seen. Furthermore, by being ignorant, one can easily withdraw from responsibilities (which one actually HAS but lies to themselves that they don't.

These are just a few though about the very complex topic ;)
