grammar - What is this wordy and complicated sentence structure?

I kind of know what it means ...



"If you want to be more than a highly-developed brain in a jar, then your hope is dashed because it's not even possible to sustain life in a jar in the first place... at least that's what I would have said... until last week."




Am I right?
