"The majority is always wrong. Me smart for thinking different 🤓"

It's not even thinking independently though. It's conforming to the group with the wrong opinion.

When it comes to bad takes on the internet and crackpot theories, assuming that such things are at least as likely to be true as what is conventionally believed is like wandering into a hospital pharmacy, with no labels on any of the bottles, and taking pills with the assumption that at least some of them will give you superpowers.

Be right, regardless of whether or not it's conforming to anything.

Obviously I'd rather think independently and be right?

What an absolutely fucking braindead take
