I for one enjoyed this very long essay. It should've been a lot shorter, but you also didn't have to read it, it says right there in the title :)

>It should've been a lot shorter

Honestly I don't think so. An essay like this is more than just content, it's an experience for the reader. I value the time I got to spend with it and feel I came way with value that a summary or condensed version would just not have had.
