Okay, so. How about this. Thinking is important, and when people disagree with you it forces you to think more. (Ideally makes you think more. Sometimes people are inept and refuse to discuss.)
Now, what if these people who disagree with you don't actually genuinely disagree with you? They're just disagreeing with you to make you think. To make you learn, to help you grow. In fact, it's a conspiracy of people who all disagree with you.
Whether the philosophy is true or not, it'd be interesting to follow the philosophy that everyone is disagreeing with you to help you think more. It makes things less personal, and makes you consider more arguments, to see if there is something you can learn.
I have named it the Pseudoconflict Conspiracy Philosophy. And yes, as long as I'm making a new philosophy I can make words like "psuedoconflict". Wanna fight about it?
