And, you may be surprised but I do learn somethings from these discussions. First, because they sometimes make me think (or rethink) and try to verbalize things I haven't verbalized before. So, it helps me to clarify my own ideas. Second, because sometimes people do offer perspective, ideas, etc. that I haven't heard or considered, and they can offer solid reasons (and evidence) that support their views.
Truth springs from argument among friends. David Hume
Not agreement but argument.
