There are people who are open to gather new informations and new points of view. With them I enjoy talking and discussing.
Then there are people who are not open to other informations or other point of views. Sometimes I just ask them and let them talk, I do that sometimes out of curiosity to gain new knowledge about others views. But I won't share my point of view or go into discussion with them. It makes no sense to me. The will try to shoot down any opinion, and not with logic but with manipulation, guilt shame fear stuff. I won't play their games. It is not about opinion for them, it is about domination and manipulation.
Would be interesting if you do the same and no longer listen to LTU but to DRS.
I agree with you, and I also enjoy more talking with people that are more open to other possibilities and challenging their views. I enjoy to discuss with people who try to understand how they themselves influence the way they think.
I don't as much enjoy talking to people who blindly follow an ideology - because they are often coloured by their own emotional problems, rather than being on a quest to come closer to truth. A great quote I heard from Jordan Peterson about this is that "Feminism is predicated on resentment" and people with those types of attitudes often have a sense of "moral superiority" when you talk to them. And even if I don't enjoy talking to them in the same way as with someone you can go along with to dive into a subject side-by-side, I enjoy trying to find ways to ask questions that make them question what they believe.
