Good typography isn’t a software program, but a craft. (I guess... )
Your example scared me. My goodness!
I have tried
\setupalign
   [nothyphenated,verytolerant,stretch] % hz?
\definefontfeature [nokern] [kern=no,liga=no]
\setff{nokern}
and still I cannot produce anything near as horrible (without adding
multiple non-breakable spaces and the like)!
\starttext

     \definedfont[Serif]   % no kerns and ligatures and ...
     \hsize 10cm           % kind of columns
     \emergencystretch10cm % make sure we can be very loose
     \looseness 6          % losen up the already not ideal paragraph
     \normallanguage0      % don't hyphenate
     \input tufte          % some text

\stoptext
