The term contrarian came to my head just now.

Hmm. Funny.

Then you might be interested in the following publication by Mr. Sim Camp.

The Importance of Being a Contrarian Thinker

Our world is an information-based society that by its nature requires discernment and nuanced thought.

It requires an individual to consciously filter through the sensory data they are receiving at all times and decide what is relevant or irrelevant to their current situation in life.

Despite having universal needs such as food, water, shelter, and social connections; everyone is a unique individual with unique interests and wants. It is impossible to have a complete overarching narrative in society that will “cover all the bases in all situations”.

“Go to school and get a good job” will work for some people. It won’t work for everyone.

Getting married in your late 20s and early 30s will work for some people. It won’t work for everyone.

Going on a certain diet will work for some people. It won’t work for everyone.

There are so many gradations and a difference in subtle life areas that it’s required for everyone to ask themselves consciously what choices and decisions will be best for them in their situation and life circumstances.

If a person fails to ask this and ask questions that have varying levels of psychological, social, or even physical discomfort and inconvenience – they risk living a life full of regrets and missed opportunities.

Instead of making a choice that was right for them, they went along and did what everyone else did – so now they’re getting average or even subpar results.

They became a “human ATM” who was pimped in the attention economy and now have no resources of their own.

They are a sucker for “quick fixes” and simplistic solutions.

They eventually become an individual who is sarcastic, nihilistic, and indifferent. This further tightens this loop and makes them fall deeper into the existential hole they’re in.

If you ever see those old (or young) people that are always cantankerous, this is what happened to them.

If this sounds absolutely terrible to you, you need to develop a contrarian mindset.

Never been a chaser/collector, just save my nickels & dimes and purchase what I want, being a lifer solo act, no other considerations, such as WAF needed....
Truly so, in my case:
Main system since the last tri-amplified Mc speaker upgrade in the first of the yr. in 2004, no change desired or even considered.
Bedroom`s Mc. speakers unchanged since 1992, and sound wonderful.
Sunroom`s DQ-10. no desire to change, as they sound excellent.
Workshop, & car garage`s two different background music speakers perform as expected for the environment they used in.
 
Having to put up with media histrionics about weather. Any weather.


And the talk about a 9' "wall of water" surge.
If you know anything, it is not a "wall".

Okay
New Pet Peeve.
I'm watching a show where they are rehabbing homes. There's a designer on the show, every time he agrees with something, instead of saying something like "Yes I agree" or "Great Idea"
he says "Hundred Percent"

I'm wondering if Ian will bring us Georgians an atmospheric river rain bomb cyclone. That's gotta be worse than your run of the mill hurricane.
