Meta

I think LW is already too biased towards contrarian ideas - we don't need to encourage them more with threads like this.

I think this thread is for opinions that are contrarian relative to LW, and not to the mainstream.

e.g. my opinion on open borders is something that a great majority of people share but is contrarian here, shown by the fact that as of the time of writing it is currently tied for highest-voted in the thread.

I think it's still a problem relative to LW.

Treated as a "contrarian opinion" and upvoted.
