How we socialize influences our perception of the truth. When cooperating, people are more likely to see the truth as subjective. When competing, people tend to believe there is an objective truth. https://t.co/RctJ1QFWOD

*Argue-To-Win Mindset* Main focus becomes about winning and finding the truth becomes secondary; more likely to be objectivists *Argue-To-Learn Mindset* Main focus is to learn and discover the truth; more likely to be tolerant of differing opinions https://t.co/RctJ1QFWOD
