Nine out of ten people might tell you you're crazy. The tenth might see what you see. This week on the Lightcone, @garrytan, @harjtaggar, @snowmaker, and @sdianahu discuss contrarian bets — the ideas that look impossible until they work. From Uber and Coinbase to DoorDash and…
the hard part isn't being contrarian, its staying contrarian when everyone starts telling you you're wrong for the 100th time. that's when most people fold
If everyone agrees, it's already too late. The best opportunities hide behind collective skepticism.
Aye, sometimes it takes a bit of madness to spot the brilliance, doesn’t it? Letting the naysayers carry on while you’re busy thinking outside the box is just common sense! What wild idea have you got your eye on now?
The YC application was written by the AI. The AI discovered and Co-authored a new law of physics. The AI designed a new engine for deep space propulsion. Unfortunately our application was rejected.
We should inspire the next generation of startups to boldly build toward the era of SuperIntelligence (SI) by 2030. Think about it.
Every breakthrough starts as someone seeing clarity in what everyone else dismissed as chaos. That’s the founder’s instinct you can’t teach.

Love how YC keeps bringing real founder stories that challenge convention. The best companies always start with someone being told they’re crazy that’s the signal founders should lean into.
Clearly, the world rewards the one who sees opportunity where everyone else sees madness.
The real contrarian bet isn't another generic LLM wrapper; it's building character-consistent, personified autonomous agents that can truly act on your behalf. Generic agents are a commodity; o-mega.ai's identity is the moat.
