240713 Predicting Perils

It takes a certain kind of genius to be able to foresee impending disasters. You can’t learn it, but if you have excellent observational skills and are able to anticipate upcoming occurrences, you can get better at it.

If they want to push it to the next level, they’ll sometimes pull off stealthy manoeuvres or perform absurd acts that people without their skills could find unpleasant.

Their explanations usually end with accusations that they are overly analytical, tedious, or even insane.

When it comes to internet frauds, for instance…

There are individuals that keep up with the news and can see potential scams to avoid falling for them.

Some individuals still can’t tell whether they’re a potential victim of a scam, even after reading about it in the news, and fell for it.

People who fall for the same scams time and again, even when they’ve been conned previously.

Lastly, there’s the type that can preemptively identify emerging forms of scams. Additionally, these individuals frequently possess the capacity to devise novel deceitful tactics that have never been encountered or heard of before.

What kind are you, then?

    How about antibody type?

    Started with no antibody (story here https://drliew.net/2024/06/19/240619-%e4%bf%a1%e4%bb%bb/#comment-731).

    Since the incident, there was another completely similar call 2 years after. Immediately called him out, response was “You smart ah you”

    There as another one that claimed to be from an insurance company claiming that I am abusing a medical card policy that I don’t even know existed. TLDR, story was too farfetched I told them I will have a lawyer coming after them for approving a policy without my knowledge.

    Now I am very skeptical with people claiming who they are through electronic medium. Especially with the advent of generative AI, you can’t even trust voice, image or videos anymore.
