The key to searching for the truth is to hold passionately to your beliefs while simultaneously not feeling entrenched in your position, to be able to let go of the need to defend it in order to save face. It’s almost a Buddhist thing, where you’re not necessarily free of ego and concerns about status, but you’re able to sit with them and maintain some objective separation. It’s about letting ideas win, not people. It’s about finding what’s right, not being right.
