Anti Kontra Blog

Jos sam davno u nekom magazinu ili nekom stripu, pocetkom zlatnih osamdesetih ako se dobro secam, procitao da je jedina autenticna inadzijska karakteristika kontriranje radi kontriranja. E bas zato, iz cistog inata, necu objaviti ovaj blog...

"A contrarian is a person who takes up a position opposed to that of the majority, no matter how unpopular. Contrarian styles of argument and disagreement have historically been associated with radicalism and dissent.

Contrarian tropes in journalism

Contrarian journalism is characterised by articles and books making counter-intuitive claims, or attacking what is said to be the conventional wisdom (a phrase due to J. K. Galbraith[citation needed]) on a given topic. A typical contrarian trope takes the form "everything you know about topic X is wrong"

The magazine The Contrarian Media describes itself as "The Toast of Delinquent Intellectuals Everywhere".[3]
Paul Krugman has criticised "contrarianism without consequences", in relation to the debate over global warming, and in particular, the controversy over the book Superfreakonomics, saying "The refusal of the Superfreakonomists to take responsibility for their failed attempt to be cleverly contrarian on climate change is a sad spectacle to watch ... having paraded their daring contrarianism, the freakonomists are trying to wiggle out of the consequences when it turns out that they were wrong."[4] The Economist has suggested that the critical response to Superfreakonomics may represent the end of contrarianism as a popular style of journalism,[5] quoting the Crooked Timber blog description of contrarianism as "a cheap way of allowing ideological hacks to think of themselves as fearless, independent thinkers, while never challenging (in fact reinforcing) the status quo.”"

Contrarianism and nay-saying

Different than mere dissent and authentic disagreement in various settings such as academic, policy making, personal, social and more; sometimes a contrarian position is taken to gainsay and nay-say another person's statement, and as is evidenced in the word "gainsay" the motivation is not to give an accurate counter point, but rather a misguided attempt to appear "better" by using a contrarian argument, which are often weak and rely only on rhetoric as they reflect as the nay-sayer's pessimism. Some have said it is an attempt to deny clear evidence merely for political gain, as is done by certain industries when it comes to important evidence of public safety and medical concerns that could effect the sales of the companies in the industry. Another form of this can be seen on some Internet forums where comments aren't responded to logically but with rhetoric, flaming or worse, defamatory statements.
Such naysayers tend to be disagreeable and frequently start sentences with the word "but" in response to another persons statement. Such sentences that are started with the conjunction "but" are often filled with rhetoric and little to no content in such contexts. It is said that one shouldn't start a sentence with a conjunction, that is, one shouldn't start a sentence with the word "but." Some technical controversy about the use of conjunctions at the beginning of a sentence exists, however, in practice, the word "gainsay" can be seen as connoting the social violation of putting down others for selfish gain, for example the tragedy of the commons shows how selfish action in society can lead to its degradation and thus similarly why it is inappropriate to gainsay others.


Contrarianism in science

In science, the term "contrarian" is often applied to those who reject a general scientific consensus on some particular issue, as well as to scientists who pursue research strategies which are rejected by most researchers in the field.[citation needed] Contrarians are particularly prominent in cases where scientific evidence bears on political, social or cultural controversies such as disputes over policy responses to climate change, or creationism versus evolution.[citation needed]
Writers on scientific topics commonly described as "contrarian" include David Berlinski, a critic of mainstream views on evolution,[citation needed] and Richard Lindzen, a critic of the scientific consensus on climate change[citation needed]. Bjorn Lomborg, who claims to accept the scientific consensus on climate change, but argues against action to mitigate it, has been called "the poster boy of the contrarian trend".[6]
Scientific contrarianism is frequently referred to, favorably, as skepticism and, pejoratively as denialism. An example of the latter usage is climate change denialism."

Дакле, ако је инаџиство contrarianism онда се о инаћењу много више може философирати него што се то обично чини.

obesmisliti im kontrasku ostricu time sto cete vec poseci samog sebe.

Sećam se da je pok. Ivica Čuljak alias Satan Panonski, kad se dopao zatvora problem reputacije rešio tako što se sekao žiletima, šaljući tako poruku "kad ovo mogu da radim sebi, zamisite šta mogu da radim vama".

Mislim, i to je neka strategija...

Mozda je resenje s vremena na vreme objavljivati blogove sa kojima se i sami ne slazete, i time im izbiti iz ruke njihovo najubojitije oruzje, obesmisliti im kontrasku ostricu time sto cete vec poseci samog sebe.

Hvala.

I took my son to the Chelsea match the other day.
He asked, "Why are them people like monkeys, dad?"
I said, "Son, don't be racist, they're black footballers."
He replied, "I was talking about the people in the crowd."
