I appreciate you coming out and I found the topic interesting. As a member of the general public, however, I felt the the talk was not intended for me. It seemed more like it was geared for graduate students in philosophy.
I assume you have friends who are not highly into philosophy. When you have conversations with them, do you readily descend into academic jargon and reference German philosophers every third sentence? I apologize if this comes off as rude, but I did leave your talk not knowing what the actual point of it was and also feeling like I needed to do a few thousand pages of reading before I could even try to figure it out.
