I'm so sorry that it isn't what you hoped it would be... it's a VERY disappointing thing for an intellectual like you to go through.
I guess the only thing I can say on a positive note is that you are not just gaining book knowledge, but gaining some real life exp. too. I know that it sounds really cheesy, but hear me out.
In real life, you will have to face a LOT of people that will disagree with you, and if you had a really easygoing, wonderful experience in grad school, you wouldn't be nearly as prepared to face people in the scariness that is reality.
I dunno... I guess that with my own experiences it's good to just try to see the positive in even the shittiest of situations...otherwise you're just going to burn out.
