Probably for the best. It was mostly just me ranting about; play, the history of dance in esoteric Buddhisms, intracultural evolution of esoteric practices into exoteric facsimiles, why it is fine to follow recipes but you have to learn the underlying principles....and so on.

My mind is very lazy and decided to forget why & what it wanted to communicate. If it comes back I’ll write some notes for you.

If the history is of interest, I'd recommend Davidson's _Indian Esoteric Buddhism: A Social History of The Tantric Movement_. There are parallels between the breakdown of Buddhist institutions and the subsequent developments in India, to the ongoing breakdown of Buddhism.
