Edit: I've discovered that A) I haven't released a video in a full month and B) even the copy I uploaded two days ago is still not at 4K. I was using this processing delay as an "early access" period, but it seems Youtube is jammed again and the delay may never end.

Since only a fraction of my audience watches at 4K and I desperately need to get a video out, I'm gonna release it now. If you particularly want to watch it in full res, you can grab the raw, high-bitrate version here: Dropbox MP4

Posting this now because YouTube is taking eons to process it to 4k. I would have posted it yesterday but I thought I'd wait until it was full res, and it seems like that could take decades. So anyway: here's a new video.

I haven't finished adding chapters or a thumbnail or title or the links I mention in the video, but I wanted to get this out to you all as soon as possible.

I have mentioned several times that I have been having a rough time lately. This video is the best I could manage in my state, by which I mean that I don't think it will have mass appeal, and I know it's very long, but it is what I was interested in and had things to say about so it's what I had to go with.

I have plans for upcoming videos that are more of a return to my Usual Thing, and I'm hoping by next week I will be "back on the horse" as it were. Thank you all for your patience.

This video is long because explaining why I did this, and the specific choices I made, requires explaining all the problems I encountered in two years of video creation. These are problems you might also encounter if your aspirations go the same way mine did.
