A healthy amount of scepticism is a good thing


I think it is important to establish from the outset that I have a tendency to think ahead, to visualise possible scenarios that may follow from a specific event or circumstance. I then weigh up the probability of these possible events playing out in reality. Just because I may suggest things that are possible does not necessarily mean that I believe them to be fact – merely ideas that may or may not prove to be true.

To some people, the scenarios I suggest on occasion may seem convoluted, overly complex or implausible. My response to such people is simple, they greatly underestimate the ability, smarts and conniving of those in positions of power and influence. If I can think of these scenarios so too can the people I write about. And if they can do it, and it is to their advantage, then they will do it.
