What important truth do very few people agree with you on?

This has been asked before as it's a famous question Peter Thiel likes to ask before dishing out capital/hiring people. But I want to hear answer that relate to "important" things like society, politics, business, etc.

Prostitution and adjacent jobs/activities (sugar daddying, OF, etc.) are wrong and corrupt society. Sure, many agree with this, but very many would disagree these days.

Why? It commodifies male-female relationships, makes men worse off (as they pay for rather than earn access to women turns them weaker, while actually quality men have to compete with money rather than other men), keeps women below men in society (they are dependent on demand from men, won't develop skills or contribute to society apart from selling their body, etc.). 

If a lot of men can't get laid, the solution shouldn't be prostitution and OF; it should be teaching men to be better.

Most people believe overpopulation is a legitimate concern. Too many people are / will be on the planet, the story goes. In actuality, every society's fertility rates plummet as women become more educated and become a greater percentage of the workforce. The world's problem will soon be low fertility rates & inverted population pyramids (too many old people / pensioners, not enough young people / workers. See Japan for an early look), not overpopulation.

This problem is growing more commonly discussed, though, especially in the last 2-3 years. So maybe not quite as contrarian as Thiel would look for as an interviewer
