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.
Have you, gradually, come to hate him?
Hate is a strong word but he grates on me a lot at times that's for sure. I feel a bit guilty about it because from the outside we look like good buddies since we often get lunch together but internally half the time he opens his mouth I'm just like "ugh."
(Whoosh!!!)
