I'm the kind of personality that doesn't often take those statements as gospel anyway. I've found a lot of value in life by going against the (mainstream) grain and digging in on occasion, it's certainly happened enough times that I've become super skeptical of those that come off as reactionary skeptics. But that probably means I've wasted a lot of time proving things people just told me. It's a trade I'm happy with :)
