I'm going to have to read this one 2-3 more times before I think I'll have most of his points.  Some of it seems superficially farcical, but I have a feeling there's a deeper meaning I'm missing just yet.

Either way, it's making me think, and I'm finding it fascinating

It's pretty good; reminds me a lot of that thought piece you posted two new year's ago.
