You guys want more contrarian participants so what's more contrarian than mental illness!
The more useful contrarians are those who tell the truth, because it is the truth, even if everyone else disagrees or disapproves. Merely telling things that others disagree with ignores the crucial issue of being right (and noticing when you're not).
Commitment begins with the earliest choices. The development of topics of discussion - the framing of future topics is a seperate issue to their truth.
