Alternatively, maybe it would help to have an "absurdly" in depth discussion, disassembling the phenomenon into tiny pieces that are seen differently by different people, and discuss why people see them differently, etc. And perhaps by doing a deep dive on this one subject, perhaps we'd learn something generic about ourselves that would be transferable to other subjects, similar to cross domain communication in science and engineering. It seems to me that we use a very different thinking style in anything involving the humanities than we do with materialistic & deterministic domains, where our approaches have proven themselves so successful.
