My work has me with people, one on one, for an hour or so at a time. A year or so ago I decided I might be able to help some of my more brainwashed clients start to think for themselves.

The best way to do that, I've found, is like you said. I don't approach the subject like we are two different sides, but instead find points they make that are close to the truth and help nudge them a little more towards opening their eyes. It's actually been pretty successful and it really makes me feel like I'm doing some good in the world.

I don't want them to agree with whatever I think, I just want to to start actually looking at facts instead of going off emotion and bad information.
