Exactly! This has always been my "agonistic" philosophy. Rather than to be
right at all cost, seek to understand where the disagreement comes from.
And as you say, it mostly lies in where we start from: the postulates or
the premises. Second to the pleasure of the mind at discovering a new idea
that works is, in my view, the one at discovering why we disagree via where
the disagreement originates from. At that point I am happy to disagree, as
that doesn't require from me to try and convince anyone that their premises
are false -- their truth-ness (or true-hood) is not exclusionary, only
people's preferences are.


I was just passing by, from the sidewalk.
