Basically, a test to see if someone only knows conformist ideas or if they're capable of seeing alternative perspectives?

To add onto this, some people aren't just conformist, they're retarded on top of that. I have a coworker who would be best described as "NPC-lite." He will believe most things unquestioningly. That includes when I push back on his occasional NPC-like remarks, we will often discuss and he will admit he isn't super knowledgeable and that what I'm saying is probably more close to the truth
And then a couple weeks later the same topic will come up and he will spout the same NPC talking point that we had already came to a mutual understanding were BS. He will just completely forget entire conversations. That's just a specific example, but I've had similar experiences with multiple people. It's like they don't even have the baseline mental capacity required to be non-conformist.
This kind of thing right here is why so called democracy is a farce. Because most people are goldfish.
Yep. Fortunately this specific dude doesn't vote, but plenty of people at his level or worse do.
