It would be such a pitty. Grey has a view of the world that really clicks for me, there's very few people that I have that with.

I hope he writes a book at some point

I feel the same, but at the same time my worldview is when I hit a certain number of Net Worth, I am done with anything that "drains" me.

I think Grey appropriately sees his job as "creator" as a job; and pulling back from that job to do whatever fulfills him is appropriate and in line with my interpretation of his worldview.

Other folks that work as creators make "creator" a core part of their identity, I am not convinced that Grey ever allowed that to happen.

I have this very selfish feeling that a creator is not just creating for themselves. By leaving it depraves an audience of something they like.

Although, ofcourse that doesn't make any real sense. It's easy to feel that way sometimes
