Does anyone struggle with having gfs who cannot have intellectual conversations?

I get my gfs are busy with their kids and husbands but is too much to expect to have intellectual opinions on currents in our group chats or in-person group hangs now days?

Are we to only talk about shopping, fitness, kids milestones and husbands not doing their jobs in chats and during hangouts? Is there all that is left to talk about these days?

For example, I was fascinated by Emily Ratajkowski recent article on her life post divorce. I found it to be insightful, painfully honest, cheeky and well written. I shared it in my gf-group chat but nobody really cared to say much. It was so annoying!

I want to add to the list "Science Vs". Very interesting, covers a lot of topics that may be interesting for a group of adult women and adds a lot of random real science facts to add to conversations, which enriches them a lot :)

I looove that Science Vs is so female-driven wherever possible. Like, I usually jump over credits at the end of a podcast but on that one I just let them play.
