Scenario

When intellectual groups become performative rather than exploratory

Our book club started as a way to have deeper conversations but now it's become this competitive intellectual performance where everyone tries to sound the smartest. We're reading profound books but somehow having more superficial discussions than we did when we just met for coffee.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The very structure designed to facilitate depth can become a barrier to genuine inquiry when ego enters the space.
