People usually don't come for a psychic reading to gush about how great things are going. No, typically they're in crisis. They talk fast and loud. The exception is when the issue is insanity. That category of deviation from norms is way beyond what we think of as "mental illness." You could only know what it is if you've been there when it manifests itself. And clients describe the it slowly and in hushed tones.  That's the ambiance in parts of the Elizabeth Holmes' documentary by Nathan Fiedler "You Can See Everything." It's palpable. Take in Holmes' parents. Observe also everything about actress Amanda Seyfried. She had portrayed Holmes in the film "The Dropout." I think I even catch snippets of the hush in Fielder's moments of silence.  So, who seems insane?  Of course, there's Holmes . She continually indicates that she's clueless about why she's on the way to prison for 11 years. But there's also her pa...

  The headline in the influential FT reads: "Nixonmaxxing: the strange revival of America’s disgraced president" The legacy of Richard Nixon is being restored. Meanwhile, come the day after the midterms, another GOP US President could tumble into the kind of reputation collapse as happened with Watergate and Nixon's stepping down.  Lucky for you.  So many of us Boomers, who lived day-by-day through such an upheaval, are eager to share how it was, what you might expect and what timeframe will it take for the new normal to solidify. About the latter, business for my tarot-reading/intuitive coaching practices already is increasing in demand.  Here's what I see now.  This time around there won't be a rush to journalism school, trying to be the next Bernstein-Woodward. Journalism isn't the path for the most earnest/best and brightest to follow anymore. Hasn't been for a while. Haven't you been reading postings on Reddit about all the unemployed/underemplo...

Many businesspeople, like myself, had been in awe of the strategic genius of Roger Ailes at Fox.  In network broadcast/cable, an industry that crowed about awards, he told staff not to chase them. Forgot all that. His focus was on boosting ratings. He thumbed his nose at America's Puritan ethos, featuring lots of female long legs on air.  There were no apologies for the strong opinions that became Fox's signature. Also, he had as his personal PR representative Bob Dilenschneider, himself an iconoclast.  Yet, today, the 30th anniversary of Fox, which kicked off on October 7, 1996, Ailes wasn't celebrated.  In the summer of 2016, Ailes came crashing down. In the Tarot that kind of catastrophic downfall is depicted by the Tower card. On July 6th of that year former Fox executive Gretchen Carlson filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment and wrongful termination. The interesting feature of that initial complaint, which caught the attention of media, was that the defenda...
