What they are doing is informing people how they should frame this issue when speaking to others about it. I can't put my finger on what Dr. Wen's style of speech is at the moment, but it ingeniously plants lots of nasty seeds.

The brilliant part is--this being aimed at those insufferable people who exalt themselves as "influencers"--her audience will be thrilled by the suggestion that they are the ones to dangle the carrot.
