I fucking love talking about x-tier shit, I can discuss it all day, but I can also understand where they're coming from, I talked about it with everyone from hobos to respectable businessmen and it also makes me uncomfortable as fuck hearing it from others if they're just giving me a monologue instead of having a two-way conversation. Why? Because this is even more of a grey-area than politics, you need to have a high level of agreement with someone on one point before moving to the next, so you can't just randomly start off with the conclusion that aliens built the pyramids, when you haven't even agreed that it's weird for people so long ago to have built such magnificent structures with such a degree of sophistication.
Like, if someone out of nowhere starts talking to me about fairies or some shit and giving me a whole lecture about it without gauging my interest, it's just gonna feel weird. With my friends, I tell them right off the bat that I'm interested in all this shit so that they have some kind of context and don't think I'm weird when I talk about it, I also ask for their opinions on it and challenge them instead of giving them a lecture.
