"Seminar talks are largely social events, particularly the talks of famous mathemiticans; and people go there for largely social reasons. In my case, it is just a way to remind myself that the kind of mathematics I am doing is much, much less attractive, from anyone's point of view, than what some people do. E.g., my papers being rejected in good journals is an entirely predictable outcome from this point of view."
"... which makes me a kind of mathematician squared: what I am doing, at least certainly in these later years, is as inaccessible and unattractive to research mathematicians, generally, as research mathematics is to common people, generally. (The measure of my lack of either ability or desire to adopt myself to the life in the real world corresponds to that of the average mathematician accordingly.)"
