Like: Someone that can hold a conversation on politics and/or philosophy.

So how many of you can hold a interesting conversation on politics or philosophy?

Depends on what you want to know or how different are our views. You looking for someone to agree with you or challenge you? I would want to have similar views, but open new windows for the person and myself.

^Yeah that's pretty much ideal, although you generally gravitate towards someone with similar views especially if politics or whatever is important to you. They're generally "buzzkill" topics, but having academic conversations at least every once in a while is a good thing/
