If someone asked me what my most "radical belief" is, and then started pressing me for a genuine answer when first meeting them, I would probably just tell them to fuck off
That's really interesting. That's one of the questions I feel like would be easiest for me to answer even to a total stranger.

Yea. My answer would start somewhere along the lines of: "my time is better spent elsewhere"
... becoming more toxic as it's asked more intently.
I don't think people actually want to know this for the vast majority of people, but maybe I'm projecting. I feel we tend to all be rather radical about Our Thing.
The true answer isn't as cute or pedestrian as one would expect. It's not good conversation, I think we're all just looking for compatible crazy - if anything. Emphasis mine/significant.
Edit: My username is a neat example, inspired by Mr Robot. Everyone has their type of hack and weaknesses.

When you connect with someone, it is trivialities that are interesting.
This reads like a list of questions by a serial dating narcissist that when they get the wrong answer they pull out their phone and start swiping for the next date while still on the current date. Repeat.
IMHO, getting to know someone takes time. And willingness to be vulnerable yourself. It's not a one way street.
