That's why you have to go out of your way to talk to people you don't agree with. When you have an 'ugh' moment, you should notice this and put it to work. Some of my most interesting conversation have come from talking to persons who completely rejected the ideas I consider to be self evident. There are definite conflicts of interest that cannot be resolved but there are also major spheres of thought that 'the other side' does not even consider because they are orthogonal to their thinking. Gradually I have incorporated some of the enemy's thinking into my own conception of the world. If an idea is relevant it tends to seep in without you being consciously aware of it. If you've ever read old internet posts or comments you'd have made and thought "who the fuck is that guy and how is he/she so wrong" then you get it.
