…contrarian viewpoints create perception of authority and intelligence in readers
“I was reading – I'm reading this book, Hacking the Human Mind. It just came out and I'm going to butcher the authors, but I'll go back and look at them. And one of the things that's in that book was talking about the psychological study, the psychology study that was done around the fact that when you have a contrarian viewpoint, even if the person reading that viewpoint doesn't agree with your take at all, they immediately apply like an intelligence indicator to you or like they – it gives you authority even if you disagree just by taking a different viewpoint or having or arguing a different viewpoint even if you don't agree with it.”
