I think the issue with saying “make good new things” is that things themselves aren’t inherently good or bad—they’re just things. It’s the person who makes them that can be good or bad.

I have a saying (among others from my dad) that captures a similar idea: “Make things, and be good.”

I think it’s good in the sense of things that are positively affecting others’ lives.
