How to deepen intellectual conversations in established friend groups

My friend group has a book club where we're supposed to discuss philosophical and spiritual topics, but everyone just shares opinions they've already formed instead of actually wrestling with questions together. I want to push us toward more genuine inquiry but I don't know how to do it without seeming pretentious or critical.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group has settled into a pattern of intellectual performance rather than genuine exploration, and changing this requires someone to risk disrupting the comfortable dynamic.
