There's quite a lot of regimented thinking going on, which is daunting to the un-initiated (I only have very limited knowledge of it. All I can definitively say is that formal logic is pretty neat). It's also very confusing because they sometimes use everyday language as jargon or terms that sound deceptively transparent, but actually have decades of compressed thinking enclosed in them.
So depending on how charitable (or socially aware) they are, conversations with proper thinking people can be enlightening or torturous. I heart being drunk helps in either case, though it might also be the source of Milch's anxiety.
I've found Thomas Nagel's "What does it all mean?" to be a good introduction.
