Conversely even the most contrarian takes pass unnoticed if you don’t get all theatrical or beef-seeking and fite-me-irl about them. For eg. I champion mediocrity and magical thinking now but nobody calls me contrarian because I’m very nice about it

Wait, so what actually passes as valid contrarianism? Rebuttals professed by single origin intellect? Also requires a certain level of decoupling from Global Social Computer in the Cloud? Sounds Messianic which is a deal breaker for the age of Aquarius.

I recently read that if it doesn't cause you to doubt yourself, and/or make you wary of putting it out there, it's not contrarian. That resonated with me.
