The conclusion of Not Built for You remembers Charles Hosch, the finest lawyer and person the author knew — a vir modestus who lived as though the purpose of a life is service. Through his story of a drifter repaying kindness on a Vietnam tarmac, it argues we've built systems that cannot look up... The work is to see each other, listen, and find balance.

Edition 022 of Not Built For You glosses the cultural diagnostic I could not finish and answers the question underneath it: We built the world that steps on the small thing without noticing. The franchise, the feed, the transaction... a culture that prices everything loses the practices that hold people to each other. What is left is sameness, the self, and the wish for more.
