> too brief of a blog post

the author kept it brief by relying on cliche after cliche, telling us to make sure we watched a completely cliche video. Why do people who have a critique of society think that they're the only ones who ever thought of this stuff?

can't get enough of it? here, enjoy https://youtu.be/n-sQSp5jbSQ?t=28

Where did you get that from?

did you need to watch the video to grasp the idea of what a rat-race is? The author thought you did, OP thought you needed "dropping out of the rat race" explained to you, meaning thta OP thought you never thought of it before.

The reader's ignorance isn't implied at all. If anything, that video is a concise, entertaining way to prime someone for the post's topic. This isn't some op-ed in the New York Times. With all due respect, maybe introspect your reaction.
