A quotation from Euripides

NURSE:Surely this doth bind,
   Through all ill days, the hurts of humankind,
   When man and woman in one music move.

   ὅταν γυνὴ πρὸς ἄνδρα μὴ διχοστατῇ.]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Medea [Μήδεια], l. 14ff (431 BC) [tr. Murray (1906)]

There “is… a problem that bedevils all of us as members of communities of believers. I call this problem our disagreement deficit, and it comes in four parts.
… First, our communities expose us to disproportionate support for our own ideas. Second, they shield us from the disagreement of outsiders. Third, they cause us to disregard whatever outside disagreement we do encounter. Finally, they quash the development of disagreement from within.”

Kathryn Schulz, "Being Wrong"

Many people lose friends over opinions because they believe their opinions are *who they are* and that #disagreement is a threat to their identity, not an issue with the idea itself.

You are not your thoughts. Not your opinions.

“Strange are the pictures of the future that mankind can thus draw with this brush of faith and these many-coloured pigments of the imagination! Strange, too, that no one of them tallies with another!”

I'll remember Asimov's concept: most disagreements stem from differing degrees of incompleteness, not absolute truth vs. falsehood. This doesn't negate that some theories are more accurate; it guides us closer to truth.

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

Age may have one side, but assuredly Youth has the other. There is nothing more certain than that both are right, except perhaps that both are wrong. Let them agree to differ; for who knows but what agreeing to differ may not be a form of agreement rather than a form of difference?

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1878-03), “Crabbed Age and Youth,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 38
