My learning partner and I have been meeting weekly for two years to work through books and ideas together, but lately we've realized that our whole friendship has become about optimizing ourselves and we can't have a conversation that isn't about some framework or insight, and I'm wondering if we've turned genuine inquiry into another form of productivity culture.
More people experience this than they realize.
Two people dedicated to shared intellectual growth discover that their relationship has become instrumentalized, serving optimization rather than authentic understanding.
