That's The Anti-Intuitive Spirit!

We hold these thruths to be self-evident?
Can't do that....what about this? Or that?They're true too, and they prove that your truths can't be true.
So there!

As they say of contrarians here, "Ah,but!"

The world-famous technique is getting altogether too obvious it must be said.
Any truth which is immediately apparent, anything from the justice of Capitalism to the desire for an ice-cream, is open to challenge.
You can't want ice-cream;you've got to want Brocolli, since you know(having been told), that Brocolli is 'good' for you and ice-cream is bad.

They win whatever you do, since if you then choose ice-cream, you will give them the benefit of guilt, and if you don't, nothing at all is supreme.

Over you.The individual.

Everything they tell you must have the apparent weight of proof and therefore truth, so every point they make is second hand, not an assertion of a reasoning mind, but always received and proven by some respectable-sounding 'group'.

They are the shitehawks of reasoned debate, hoping to crush by intimidation any resistance to their unwavering (and equally non-intuitive) party line.

Don't look for a party though. All you'll find is people who smile at each other behind your backs or over your bowed heads.
