Title: All of you are completely insane

Read it, live it. One of the most influential articles I've read in a long time, although I don't expect many of you to finish it.

I'm sorry man, I pride myself on being able to read lengthy articles, but I have no patience to spend two hours reading something that after the 15 paragraphs I did read through, still didn't go anywhere.  There's nothing that can be that interesting.

Thought you would have a little more patience than that. You should try to finish it when you get the time.

This. After reading about 2 pages down I began to skim through the rest. The author could have shortened that essay by a lot.

I seriously had a good hour at work today that I didn't have anything on my plate as I waited for a 1.5Tb database backup to complete, and I STILL couldn't convince myself to read it all...  Seriously, I went in with full intent to prove Jake wrong and read it all... But I couldn't give a shit.

So I skipped about 2 paragraphs at a time.  Here's the cliff notes for everyone else but Jake.

Love one another, or else you're insane.

There, I just saved you a dry and boring 2 hour read where you'll be pulling your hair out by the end trying to figure out what in the !@#$ this self proclaimed prophet is failing at conveying.

Thanks for posting that Jake. Just wanted to let you know that it was a phenomenal read; a quintessential 'diamond in the rough' regarding the internet. I'll be sure to pass this along to my family and friends, although it's a shame it's so long. I guess the content itself wasn't a big enough deterrent!

Awesome! Glad you were able to take the time to read it.
