“Ah I despise intellectual elitism, I know I am guilty of it, but I just had a seminar and the majority of it was people simply reinforcing what others had said. I agreed with most of it, but there is no substance to debate without disagreement, you do not know where you really stand if your values are never challenged.”

I’ve been forced to listen to the discussions of two people as of late (they shall remain nameless) and it’s been pretty disgusting. There is no point of a discussion if you’re ALWAYS going to reinforce what the other person says and vice versa.

What these people are effectively doing.
