How to navigate intellectual standards in group learning

Our book club started as a way to seriously engage with challenging texts but it's devolved into people just sharing opinions without really grappling with the material, and those of us who want deeper engagement don't know how to address this without seeming elitist. We're stuck between intellectual rigor and social harmony.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
