    Here you can generally assume people will engage with intellectual honesty and intellectual curiosity, not just to “win” an argument but to have a real exchange of ideas that results in potentially both people benefiting. Everything isn’t a debate and every conversation does not have a winner and a loser, the goal everyone has here is generally for everyone to be better off.
