Yeah, I could believe that you're better at nontechnical talks than technical ones. (Might not be true, but it's at least plausible and I have no evidence to the contrary). OTOH most technical talks are crap. I'm pretty sure if you sunk a bunch of effort into it you could do OK.

But I appreciate "If you put a bunch of effort into it it might not be crap" is not exactly a motivational sentiment.

FWIW all of my good technical talks have been good because some mix of: * Mix in a lot of nontechnical bits and don't sweat the technical details. * Talk about subjects that are intrinsically interesting. * Don't bother to give talks that someone else could give.

Do you want to have things that match the last part?

Sure but that doesn't mean that not having is evidence of not wanting.

Yeah, that's fair, but I think a lot of the time it's also just evidence of not having had the right "ah ha!" moment, or conflicts. Like there's a lot I want right now but can't have because I'm up against the hard constraint that there's plague in tham there streets.
