Stewing on this... the 1 hour is a good restriction on scope but everything is so interconnected it's tricky to pick something that can be covered well in isolation. I think... I would deliver a talk called "Can't It Be Motherfucking Both Things?" and talk about ambiguity in Homestuck? Like when things are both alive and dead, both white and black, both masculine and feminine, both memory and desire... that also poses a danger of creeping scope but at least I would be able to lock onto 1 or 2 examples per theme to keep myself grounded
The success of a paradigm may not be for the reasons it claims (i.e. accurate description of the world). This is good.
