49 Claim: We can usuallylearn much more from people whose views we share than from those whose viewscontradict our own.
Reason: Disagreement cancause stress and inhibit learning.

Unaboutedly, it is easier tocommunicate with those who hold similar positions. Not only will you have moreinformation to share, you could also regard each other as an important source of inspiraiton and encouragement. And I am sure your slogan is going to be“Great minds think alike”. Further, these suppor gained from your like-mindedgroup can be very essencial in hard times of your career. Think about Giordano Bruno. "Although today we have become used to seeing the earth as a minute, hardly visible point within immense vistas of space and time,such an idea at the end of the sixteenth and beginning of the seventeenth centuries appeared overwhelminglyunfamiliar and strange. Convinced of the truthfulness of the Copernican hypothesis, Bruno attempted to pilot arecalcitrant sixteenth century public, towards a realist acceptance of the heliocentric principle. It was precisely this realist heliocentric stand,however, shared by only a small handful of his contemporaries, which involved Bruno in the attempt to visualise a newworld picture. "(Hilary Gatti, GIORDANO BRUNO’S COPERNICAN DIAGRAMS) That’s perhaps why many authorative scholars include Bruno amongthe very few Copernican realists active in sixteenth century Europe. Perhaps wecan imagine that the last person Bruno was thinking of before he was engulfedby the relentless fire would be Copernicus, one of the very few people whounderstand his stand and the church’s ridiculousness.

Despite what has been discussed above, the outcomeof discussing with people sharing different ideas may not be that disappointedand disastrous as expected considering many distinguished figures both inhistory and modern times. As is known, Carl Jung is one of the best known contemporary contributors to dream analysis and symbolization. Though many people would take it forgranted that Jung benefit enormously from Freud, thefounding father of psychoanalysiswho firstly proposed and emphasied the unneglected role of dream throughanalysing its important indication, the fact is just the opposite. It was whenJung started to suspect the correctness and validity of Freud, his used-to-be idoland mentor, that his pinnacle of academic career had come.

Disagreement does cause the so-called stress onone’s way to a successful career. But obstacles and pressure can never beavoided when one wants his finds to be acknowledged by and beneficial to asmany people as possible. Thus the reason of the argument mentioned in thequestion is not completely and universally true. For controversies and evenconflicts of views, though challenging (or even threatening) to one’s patience,self-esteem and authorativeness, do not necessarily lead to a frustratingresult in the attempt to the improvement of his original ideas; on thecontrary, the seemingly unreconciled distinction may enlarge the applicabilityof ones’ views, thus driving the academic communication into a further profoundlevel.
