I was lucky during high school to have philosophicaly-minded friends, but once college started every interaction seemed to be situated around food, class or ladies. I'm not going to lie to you, I have no clue why some people seem to hate deep conversation, but the fact of the matter is that a great many people avoid it like plague. You just have to find the ones who are willing to expose themselves to new ideas and perspectives and-more importantly- are willing to be proven wrong. Which, again, is something I'm sure you've heard before- there's a reason why it gets repeated, you know? Besides, authenticity is nice and all, but a tad overrated. Even shakespere represents a small step past the fables and stories which formed the base of his writings!"}
