When I see everyone heading off in one direction, I wonder if they've got it right. My nature is to challenge it--to question it. It's not that I automatically oppose it, but I'm suspicious.
The greater risk is from those who simply disagree for the sake of disagreement. We see this when Trump supporters speak of all the Biden administration failures as if speaking it makes it so. When asked for specifics the response is simply everyone knows. Often they can't share a single failure or crime. Is a failure to acknowledge discernable facts also considered contrarianism?

You can call that egocentrism or megalomania, but it's not contrarianism. A contrarian will say about anything: Where's the evidence for that?
