I reached out to John by email with 4 long questions to help prepare for a different conversation with an anti-industrialist, plus the suggestion that I could post our Q&A text interview around a few places to help clarify his political theory and promote my critique of primitivism. But he offered to voice chat instead, which was a pleasant suprise. Finally I'll transcribe some of his answers for an article on our conversation and link it here when it's finished.
