Scenario

When couples stop challenging each other intellectually

My partner and I both fell into this pattern where we read the same books and articles but we never actually discuss what we think about them anymore, and I realize we've created this intellectual echo chamber where we assume we agree without ever testing our ideas against each other. We used to have these amazing debates that changed how I think about things, but now we just send each other links and nod.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people have replaced genuine intellectual exchange with the comfortable illusion of shared understanding.
