    Yes! Contrarians VERY frequently mistakenly conflate being (justifiably) ridiculed with being correct but unpopular because they are challenging mainstream "dogma."https://twitter.com/c0nc0rdance/status/1390645312365203458 …

        Religious types are the worst because some dudes a long time wrote a book that tells them they are special & never, ever wrong & I do pity the future victims of scorn from the church of Salinger

        The survivors bias effect for successful contrarians is strong.

        Reminds me of when Trump was taking over the GOP. I was of course appalled. A certain Republican said to me: "Hey, they said Reagan was a crazy idiot too!!" To which I replied: "Next you'll be telling me they both like jelly beans."

        The apostle Paul told the new Christians the proof of Christ's righteousness was the attacks and ridicule upon his followers.

        New religious movements (i.e. "cults") usually incorporate a belief that outside ridicule is validation of their beliefs. It's a self-reinforcing loop of logic. You see the same thing in fringe movements that are secular, but "feel" like a cult.

        Recent developments in UFO/UAP news suggest this Carl Sagan quote will age ironically, sooner rather than later.

        They were right to laugh at Columbus. He thought it would be safer and faster to sail west to get to the Indies, when it objectively wasn't. He just got lucky that there was a continent on the way.

        Also: many famous scientists were assholes, so many students think being an asshole makes you seem like a genius
