Interesting Jeshk0 -

too bad for your brother and friend that they didn't let themselves be taken out of their ego-states. Are they generally bad listeners?

I wouldn't say that they are bad listeners. I believe the problem is more to do with age. At the time I was 17 or 18, they were about 19 years old, non-religious and very cynical. My brother is rarely serious and tries to make everything a joke. It's difficult to be serious about things when it's so much easier to deride them. For them, anything out of the norm is an easy target to get amusement from.
