That's because you are an intelligent person, a man of taste and above all an individual.
Again, back in the 80s, I remember reading an article (in Australian Playboy of all places), called 'The Bullshit Detector'. It introduced me to concepts like 'spin doctoring', ' media hype' - a new concept back then, and niche marketing. The point of the article was to remind us that not everything we are told is true and that we must always question why we are told certain things. What the ancient Greeks called 'skepsis' (literally, thought) It's where we get scepticism. The basis of which is thinking for yourself.
