i think there is a significant amount of contrarianism in societies that emphasize the value of the individual. we must maintain our individual "uniqueness" and so our opinions move like water to fill in the space left by other people's ideas. it's the search for the hot take mount olympus

I think there is a high degree of contrary/opposed thought but I don't think people are usually contrarians. At least, I don't think they don't like things simply because other people do. Climbing the hot take Mount Olympus is more of a product of the potential ability to go viral on Twitter. Or so I imagine...
