I helped edit your book. That makes me either the ideal interviewer or the worst possible one.</p> <p><strong>Matthias Gruber:</strong> You didn&rsquo;t help write it. The theory has been sitting in my skull since 2003 and in a German book that sold zero copies since 2015. You helped me edit that old book into an accessible English version, and then translate it back into German. You were the first entity patient enough to sit through the entire mess without glazing over.</p>
