The value of science and being a scientist lies in encouraging people to disagree, take different sides, and question until reaching the closest truth possible. Having productive conversations involves understanding each other's perspectives, even if there is disagreement. The ultimate goal of a conversation is not to convince or even to agree, but simply to understand each other. This understanding fosters better relationships and has been crucial to human success. The book also discusses how society is currently fearful of engaging in difficult conversations on contentious topics.
