Lots of people use "productive conversation" as a euphemism for "everyone ends up agreeing with everything else" which is a weird worldview to me as someone who seeks truth

The space between the earth and the sky is like bellows.
It doesn't care about your path, just fans your flame, and you produce more and more.
While it just stays there empty, and spend no energy, have nothing, thus is never exhausted.

People gather data and ideas, and use it to create the truth they need for their path.
Give them what they want, don't try to control the result, you won't succeed anyway.
When there is a lot, you're bound to find something for yourself.

Nobody creates truth.

Truth is that which is true, not what you believe is true.

Any 2 ideas can be combined to create a new idea. When you have 2 ideas, you have millions of them. All these ideas can be truthful.

Because, what is at the core of truth? The change in our sensory organs? The difference between what is and what wasn't? The truths that can be created by combing any 2 physical sensations are endless.

The amount of truth in the world is infinite. You can't consume it all with your finite head. Attempts to force the truth from your head into the heads of other people, won't succeed. Their heads are also finite, and aren't empty.

So just let them collect what they want to.

Lots of ideas are false.

True ideas are good.
