Disagrees for cardio. The devil has a full legal team already.
The group reached consensus, and you felt a disturbance in the force. 'Okay but counterpoint—' you began, defending a team you don't even like, a position you don't even hold, with the energy of a closing argument. The Eye has cross-examined the pattern: you don't argue to win. You argue because agreement makes you itchy. A room where everyone's nodding feels, to you, like a room where nobody's thinking — so you appoint yourself the opposition party, the stress-team, the lone juror voting 'not so fast.' And the Eye will give you this: you're often RIGHT to. Half your friend group's worst ideas died in committee because you poked them first. Groupthink is real and you are its natural predator. But here's the deposition you keep dodging: contrarianism is also a fortress. If you're always arguing the other side, nobody ever gets a clean shot at YOUR side — your actual beliefs, your real preferences, the things you'd defend with your own name on them. The Eye has been waiting a long time to hear your closing argument. Yours. Not the devil's.
