Question: do people think this post was too long? In the beginning, I thought that it would be a good idea to give a rough overview of DFT to give an idea of some of the ways by which pure utility functions could be made more reflective of actual human behavior. Near the end, though, I was starting to wonder if it would've been better to just sum it up in, say, three paragraphs.

Not too long. The buildup between the theories was key in keeping my attention.
