Whenever I have a conversation with someone like that, I get this overwhelming sense that I'm talking to myself.
Me: Do you watch The Office?
Human: Yeah!
Me: You know the new guy? Will Ferell? I don't think he'll be as good as Steve Carell.
Human: I agree totally!
30 minutes later:
Another Human: My god, I LOVE the new guy on The Office!
Human: I know right? Isn't he awesome?
Me: o.O
Please have your own ideas on things.
Going with the general opinion doesn't make you seem informed. It makes you look like a follower who doesn't know any better.
I would rather have talk to a person who has radically different views than me, than someone who agrees with everything I say.
It gets tedious after a while.
