What's a contrarian to you?

I think I want to steal a quote for this one, which is Christopher Hitchens. And his quote was, a contrarian is not one who always disagrees, but one who questions everything. And so my idea is in the world that we have right now, it's probably pretty smart to question assumptions continuously. And the humans who do that are the ones that win over time. I don't think the goal is to just be ornery or to counterculture, but to actually use your brain to come up with a formulation of thoughts that is unique to you.
