If you reflexively think the opposite of what you’re told to think, you’re still being told what to think.

Good article. The judo around medicine isn't even on it's first turn. Think about how the sides were aligned regarding medicine when Obamacare was being debated. Right: "medicine man good, honest capitalist" Left: "medicine man bad exploitative ruling class."

Of course, sometimes the purpose is just to flood the zone so thoroughly that distinguishing anything like the truth is entirely impossible.
