My temperament is curious, I enjoy learning, and I engage intellectually with my own thoughts as well as others’ thoughts. This helps me understand people, processes, and society better (I hope.) However I agree mostly with the junk food analogy the author expounds upon in this essay (or article?)
I find there are people who will never answer a question you pose, except with another question (or perhaps some rhetoric around the question to disguise they never answered the question, just posed another question.) I know these are usually called trolls (recently when I was admittedly tired and headachy and couldn’t think, I unfortunately called someone an idiot. Their thought processes were just - UGH 😣.) Most of the time you can never get anything sensible out of them, even in the form of an intelligent disagreement! I call them TIME WASTERS. That’s what they really are. Either intentionally or by default, from being “intellectually obese” or “intellectually obtuse” they simply waste time. 🥴🤦♀️🥴
