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

Of course truth exists, but obviously no one person sees the whole truth. That's why there is need for consensus.

No lol, consensus isn't truth.

Truth is truth.

If you grab the compass needle and turn it around with your hand the earth doesn't flip on its axis.

That's not what I said. I said no one person can see the full truth, so we have to combine the things we've seen to get the full picture.
