PS: I loved the style of this piece. Weaving together so many threads that they are not really tangents as you connect the dots between them. I used to write this way and it's so much fun. Are you an INTP by any chance (if you believe in MBTI)? Do you ever feel like your writing is like a pinball bouncing between split screens in your brain that are always working on problems both consciously and unconsciously? That's the way I used to describe how my essays in this style came to be. I can't leave without dropping a link to my Lucas piece: https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/i-am-a-jedi-58521a4b55db
