I've noticed that when I discuss philosophy with friends, everyone claims to value truth, but most get defensive when their beliefs are challenged. Could it be that we don't actually seek truth, but rather confirmation that our current views are right? I remember a heated debate about free will where neither side changed their mind despite solid arguments. Maybe philosophy isn't about winning debates but about becoming more comfortable with uncertainty. What do you think—is the pursuit of truth even possible when our egos are always in the way?
