contention

The prevalence of a spirit of contention amongst a people is a certain sign of deadness with respect to the things of religion. When men's spirits are hot with contention, they are cold to religion. - Jonathan Edwards “The Book of Mormon does not supplant the Bible. It expands, extends, clarifies, and amplifies our knowledge of the Savior. Surely, this second witness should be cause for great rejoicing by all Christians.” - Joseph B. Wirthlin

Truth-seekers vs consensus-seekers

 

Truth-seekers take feedback from nature (planes have to fly), free markets (customers have to buy), or competition (militaries have to win). Consensus-seekers take feedback from people (actors want fans, academics want honors, politicians want votes, journalists want status).
