3.0

I can see it's clever and witty, and definitely quotable. There's a lot to discuss, and I can appreciate all of that. But still, there is such a thing as "too wordy". There's also such a thing as pretentious. Several times, I wanted to scream, "I get it, you detest society, now move the fuck on!"
Loved the ending, though.
