I think humans having their own culture and ultimately worldview is just a fact of life and the best that we can do is to learn to coexist and work with each other.
But we don’t have to work side by side for 40 hours a week. Why make both of us miserable?
And to your scenario, I personally too believe a culture of opposing voices is the best culture, but ourselves thinking that is… itself a worldview, making us a part of a subculture. And even then, there are limitations to my acceptance. For example, I strongly believe in keeping track of credit for ideas, so people who regularly forget who suggested an idea (or who don’t care who did it first in history) bother me immensely, so even if you had similar views as me, I wouldn’t want to work with you just on that alone. You are only a little different but, to me, in a wrong and unacceptable way.
But I’ll still work with you. I just don’t want to be on a team of you’s.
