Overview
Surrounding yourself with plenty of like-minded people is usually a good idea, but doing so will limit your creativity right now. You certainly don't need toadies who agree with everything you say (and compliment you for saying it). You need a bit more friction in your life, especially today. Seek out people whose beliefs are different from yours; you'll benefit from what they add to your life. When you meet someone who changes your opinions, you have grown.
