Social Status: In Post-Epstein File Era, Heathcliff, Catherine Wouldn't Have Fallen in Love

"He doesn't even have a car."

In most social niches car ownership is a marker of at least middle class social status. This client for a tarot reading (identity masked) was upset when finding out the man pursuing her didn't even have a car. She assumed he was tooling around on an e-bike for exercise and adventure.

That kind of conversation took place months before the Epstein files dump. Even then there had been a fierce sensitivity regarding what goes into socioeconomics. 

In the new book "Anointed," business professor Toby Stuart documents how much social status shapes everything from how humans are treated to the opportunities open to them. The tone and content of the Epstein files detailed the operations of one large circle of that privileged world. Also, there's no ambiguity: For most of us there would be no invitations to dinner parties at Jeffrey Epstein's mansions. Middle class not welcome. We don't have enough of value to exchange on the network.


So, although there is sustained fascination with the Emily Bronte 1847 saga of doomed love between stable boy Heathcliff and social-climber Catherine, such a romance would probably not get even started currently. Both "would know better." Neither would have crossed the line. 

Sure we can enjoy all the film versions of "Wuthering Heights." But we shake off the plot as fiction. 

More proof of that? Hover over professional anonymous networks Reddit, Fishbowl, Blind and Glassdoor. The issues discussed make it obvious that much of the norms of social status remain hardened. Unemployed males feel less-than taking on the role of househusband. The junior dentist in a practice on the Gold Coast of Connecticut is told to buy a better car. For males the number-one marker is the watch. For females the dress. 

Because of this, even in casual relationships power can be unequal among different social classes. That's why the concept of "finding your own people" is so wise. In tarot readings I hear deep hurt experienced by those who assumed the social playing field was level. I guide them how to find their own tribes.

The Elite Psychics - Cassanda Vanzant Provides Solution for Getting Clarity, Finally

Image
  Ever since The New York Times saluted the Tarot in April 2021as a tool for self-awareness and introspection, there has been massive interest in psychic readings. More recently the media designated psychics as the new therapists. However, that left those seeking guidance in a pickle. The issue is: How to select a psychic who is 1) authentic 2) caring and 3) will provide the results you need.  Long-time psychic Cassandra Vanzant observed that confusion. Her Ah-Ha moment was to develop a fresh approach to the "delivery" of the psychic connection. That is The Elite Psychics.  Excited about this breakthrough development in psychic services, I requested an exclusive interview with Vanzant.  *************************************************** THE ELITE PSYCHICS Q: With all the internet psychic sites to choose from, what makes your site, The Elite Psychics, different? A: I’ve worked for quite a few of these psychic online companies. Most prefer quantity over quality. ...

Aging - Holding On To Sense Of A Self

Image
  The Wall Street Journal fingers retirement for the epidemic of a loss of self among the aging.  However, the process can kick in as soon as anyone senses they are no longer young. Gone is their youthful self. Denying aging, they don't invest in creating a new self - and continually bringing up to date that identity. By time there is a shift from a demanding career to part-time, freelance, entrepreneurial or no work there is no emotional, physical and spiritual platform to keep building on. In the Tarot there are myriad cards which salute moving on and breaking free from the past, even though there is so much uncertainty about the present and the future.  My favorite card for that is the Eight of Cups. It is commonly called The Walking Away card. I prefer to refer to it as The Walking Toward card.  Cups symbolize emotion. There is certainly lots of that in leaving the past behind. The mountains stand for the unknowns. The sitting position recommends not rushing the...

Don't Expect Compassion - The Sidley Biter and More

  Values are fragile entities. As a tarot reader I'm picking up on compassion falling off a cliff. With so much employment uncertainty, inflation and the disruptions of Generative AI, human beings are withdrawing into themselves. The mindsets are self-care, not caring much about others. Predictably the story of the law student doing a lucrative internship at Sidley law firm who probably has risked an entire career has become a joke. Well, it's been confirmed that they were a biter. Yes, the teeth kind. Not a hustler after opportunity. A rare bit of posting on Reddit by someone who works at Sidley requests empathy for a human being who will be caught up in the consequences of bad behavior.  That plea probably won't get very far. The same applies to other human beings on the wrong side of the economy.  In a 12-step club, for example, there's growing tension about the willingness to allow the homeless hang out. Their peculiar conduct has already reduced attendance at meet...
