You run on pattern-breaks. You see the assumption everyone's standing on, and you can't unsee it. Your ideas arrive a few years before their audience does, and your independence isn't a phase — it's the operating system.
The cost is orbit. Contrarianism can become reflex — disagreeing to stay free rather than because you do — and the distance that protects your thinking can leave people loving you through glass.
Uranus doesn't orbit like the others — tilted sideways, on principle. The practice is telling apart the rebellion that builds from the one that just breaks. Your strangeness is a public utility. Wired into something, it lights cities. Unwired, it's just lightning.
