If someone’s actions are truth-seeking, they are trying to actually work out what is true as opposed to trying to defend their current beliefs or ‘win’ an argument. It is pretty linked to the scout mindset. It’s plausible that others use this term differently—but afaik this isn’t an unusual way of using it.
I think that you didn’t exhibit this quality well in your post (e.g. you open by claiming that you are trying to answer a narrow question whilst writing a critique of the Atlas program) and this can get in the way of good discourse. I do think there were good things about the post and I think there’s a version of this post with most of the main points that I would have really liked.
