That is a fair point. At the end of the day, one of philosophy's principal fuctions is to help us lead a batter life and so I don't see the point of gatekeeping it. Either way, lemmy is a tiny platform and its philosophy community is even smaller, consider it a small group of mates who like to chatter about life, so don't feel pressured to sound "sophisticated". And I encourage you to share your thoughts, ideas and opinions freely :)
Philosophy is one of the least gate-kept pursuits, the problem of vocab can be solved by being patient and empathetic to our interlocutors, as that is the whole point.
