If we see eye to eye on something, the admission of that is not a sign of weakness, its simply stating the truth. The exchange of ideas is not a debate in which you are competing with arguments. Ideas can be heated and strongly felt, but they are not exclusive or infallible.
The exclusivity and infallibility of ideas is called Idealism, which is a dangerous and intelelctually stagnating mindset. |
I don't agree with that...
I know all of this of course. Still, it's nice to read what we all perhaps take for granted in our minds put down into explicit words.
