It is important to be open to all kinds of ideas, perspectives and opinions. A sense that there exists unique logic, reasoning, struggle, stories in every field allows you to receive new information with an open mind.
So it is important to always keep doing these internal checks:
- Is my reasoning getting too tied to what I think is correct.
- Do I often entertain ideas which contradicts POVs of my liking.
- Am I open like a vessel where every idea can pass and then I store the ones that stand up to logic.
Start seeking something and then it will eventually seek you.
If you want to learn something (yes, even a new tech paradigm, language, or system architecture), start learning it very well, so first it reveals itself in its truest form. Then you will be so good that your contributions will enhance the field.
