I had to cut out several minutes at the end of this video, I got rather candid about one of my classes at the university I am attending. Sometimes my self-preservation instincts don't seem to function normally. I asked my supporters on Patreon if they thought it was too much, they emphatically said, Yes! Cut that ending unless you want to be the pariah of the English Literature department. Which is why the ending of the video is a little choppy.
