I always get friends telling me I should submit talks to things but then I never feel like I have actual content for presentations? I work really well in dialogue, answering questions, and I know lots of things but I'm not the expert that should be talking, it's not my stuff to present, and I do a lot of weird and innovative stuff but that's my work, I've done those ideas and usually they don't have something useful for the audience to take away so it just feels like bragging, or maybe an ad, you could actually just see the weird stuff by being audience to the work.

I'm always happy to teach but I always assume my peers are my peers, I'm just using the same tools they are.

@ash I think that this is my issue as well. I can talk about a topic I am knowledgeable about, but putting together a presentation feels like a different thing.

@ash I used to be quite proactive preparing / submitting / giving talks. Year after year it feels more and more like I'd just much rather do panels where you get to discuss / share / learn

@alexkalopsia@mastodon.social ohhhh. This description really creates a lense for where Talks and Presentations feel like a very Capitalist arrangement of pedagogy
