executive and how can we tell when someone comes into the room with their hair on fire whether they are chicken little or cassandr isn t that corre cassandra? what s the answer? there are things that happen in every case. if the thing you are warning about has never happened before, people will not believe it. if the thing you are warning about has been a hollywood movie, asteroids coming to the earth. biological weapons killing everybody. that sort of thing. it is outlandish in the eyes of the decision maker. they have seen that. that was hollywood. that was science fiction. it is so relevant from what we some in the political culture. trut truth has been political. and that is a big point for you.
