the point
"Yes, some people will get rich. But if you ask why enough times, you'll discover that getting rich isn't the point."
If you ask "why" enough times, the point will be to say something that ends the interview.
""It's not a matter of policy, but one of the things the government can say is: 'We're going to have a renaissance – let's do it'.
A professor from whom I took a course on Renaissance literature, a Swede by birth and education, remarked that in the 17th Century Sweden was well positioned to have its own Renaissance; it controlled the Baltic and a lot of money came along with that power. But, he said, the literature was unreadable, the music dreadful, the art not worth looking at.
He does sound like a Renaissance man, but I leave it to better judges to decide whether he sounds more like Malvolio or Dogberry.
