No finalising, explanatory word

I would like to know how other people have done it before me. How do you hold true to Bakhtin's "plurality of independent and unmerged voices and consciousnesses, a genuine polphony of fully valid voices" when you could improve your professsional status, identity and mental well-being by "giving the right answer"?

My most important role model has been Etienne Wenger. But I am truly tested in a context where your professional and academic identity is based on "knowing" the correct anwer!
