I'm always wrong, so I take my initial opinion I truly believe and then I choose to hold the opposite of that opinion.

Always being wrong though means that my choice to hold the opposite opinion is also wrong therefore it makes my initial opinion correct.

This made me think of that Seinfeld episode where George does the exact opposite of every decision he would normally make, and then someone else posted a gif from it

That's where I got it from lol it's the Costanza rule, but I joke that it's really the Costanza paradox since choosing to do the opposite is still a choice and so it should also be wrong
