      I’ll agree with that. Convoluted nonsense for the sake of being convoluted is very rarely good writing. There’s some stuff with more complexity and longer developing story-lines, but the minute to minute reading should still flow even if you don’t see how the big picture is going to develop.

        You’re not dumb if you fail to understand a book of philosophy. Very few are as straightforward as Das Kapital for example.
