Layer 1 is a settlement layer, its trust minimization akin to gold but able to be settled online. Layer 2 is retail cash (among other applications). This falls out of the computer science and trust minimization being the essential top priority for a seamlessly global currency.

you could think of lightning as a network cache, analogous to a write back disk cache. (meaning delayed write, lots of write shadowing where things are netted out or overwritten in the cache).
You could, and for a computer science audience it helps to shed some light, but it also takes the metaphors deeper into professional jargon territory, in a direction opposite that of public understanding.

It's a good time, better than any other, for public understanding to migrate its direction towards computer science.

That would be nice, but highly unlikely alas.

Expect more from humans, they have an uncanny ability to rise to the occasion. If the information is worth sharing, that's the curation part, not in predicting whether the audience will accept it.

yes that only really helps IT savvy or programmers, comp-sci people. but for them it's a fast way to transfer intuition of whats going on. (plus the base-layer as automated arbitration of conflicting write-shadow claims).

I've come to find you have to explain things separately in small chunks. Give a broad technical description to the listener then breakdown each chunk like an inch deep. Over time they will understand if they choose to listen.
