I’m not saying that all conversations should be steered towards insight, but more of them should be, especially in the rationalist community, where the potential value of conversations is high. There is nothing wrong with entertainment per se, but conversations gravitate towards entertainment by themselves more often than not.
I would say that given the high correlation between rationality and sharing common interests and ways of communication, the potential entertainment value of conversations is high as well.
