i agree with eight, you have boring friends. not in the sense that they don't know about high political conversations or whatever, but that they just seem un-engaged. are you sure they just aren't taking the effort to try and engage with you that you're putting out? If they're not doing that, have you tried just saying that to them directly? If you make it clear that you're open to deeper and weirder conversations, they might be more open to having them.
oh wow this is very revealing.
