Generally dis-satisfied with this illusion.

I want people in my life that challenge MY thinking and lead me on intellectual roller-coaster rides.

Sounds like you're getting on fine doing that all by yourself ;-). I'd say from what I've read in this thread there's quite a bit for you to work with personally.

You may not necessarily realise it but those people are offering you learning. The learning of the acceptance of the path they are on whilst simultaneously highlighting a distorted belief within yourself which is creating the apparent dilemma you are finding yourself in now. It isn't necessarily about directly affording evolution of the Self either, but rather being of Service to Others (It could be in a subliminal fashion rather than a direct 'brute force "Here's my belief you better accept it because I know it's right, don't you see!" approach', which has the benefits of assisting them and in turn you with the expanded opportunities which results from that. There is learning to be found in being humble with what you 'know' whilst simultaneously acceptance of those aspects of Self which may not necessarily be content with that state.
