Toxic tribalism
Inspired by the live stream of Jeffrey Tucker and Gene Epstein: How to wildly disagree with someone but have a civilized, intellectual discussion

You can not have an intellectual conversation if you have an (inflexible) opinion. That's just political correctness (lieng). Get rid of your opinion first then discuss without it.

Agreed, it was great watching them hold to their principles but we completely willing to keep the possibility open that they may be wrong. I appreciated that :)

Without an opinion you never "agree" and nothing is "right" nor "wrong" So the purpose of not having an opinion is freedom of your own judgement and freedom of speech for the others.
