Scenario

When discussion groups become performative rather than exploratory

Our book club started as a way to engage with big ideas but it's become a place where we all say what we think we should think rather than wrestling with what we actually think, and I miss the intellectual honesty we used to have.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group intended for authentic inquiry has drifted into social performance, and the very safety that allowed exploration has become a constraint against it.
