How was my logic on that group buy?Originally Posted by Aloha_Shooter
It's not often that there are real winners and losers in an arguement, because most of what we talk about is theoretical, but the 1% of the time that there is some tangible or determinable outcome to an arguement, I will almost always be on the right side of it. And I've noticed that it's especially true when the number of people arguing against me is much greater than the number of people arguing with me.
My secret is that I instinctively look for any good reason to take a different position than the herd. I automatically jump to a position outside the box, and people hate me for that. But if I can find any good reason the herd might be wrong, the herd is almost always wrong. 99% of the time you're sitting in a field having a great time, in good company. Then 1% of the time they're taking you to the slaughterhouse and one of them jumps through a fence and gets away. I'm the one that gets away, because I'm always trying not to be in the herd.
But because 99% of the time there are no real winners and losers in an argument, the herd continues to think that they're right 99% of the time because they live in an echo chamber and tell themselves that. And they say I'm just lucky the 1% of the time that it matters.
And if you think you're right 99% of the time, and I'm constantly taking a different position, I don't blame you for thinking I'm an idiot. But that's not what's happening.
