I do spent a lot of time dancing but it produces little conversations that are influential for the beliefs I hold.

Dancing in a context with loud music doesn't really produce an environment that produces social expectations about beliefs you hold.

It's not time in which I about substantial new beliefs, but there's other time for that. It doesn't even have to be alone time. Conversations with other people who also care that their beliefs are based on evidence and who are well read is just as good for forming new beliefs as forming than alone on the internet.
