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.
Your coworker didn’t forget your earlier conversation. He’s just a dishonest manipulative fuck.
I can see why you would think that. And if I saw someone saying this without any knowledge of the person I would probably come to the same conclusion. But trust me when I say this dude's memory really is that bad.
He's the type of guy who if you are around him long enough will tell you the same story 3 times in one week thinking he didn't tell you yet. And, the most frustrating part of it, sometimes he gets the details of his own stories mixed up and I have to correct him because I've heard it already....
Sometimes it's easy to forget just how dumb normies can be....
