Fromm CNN we get this lovely piece of uncritical woo. Her name is Laura Day and she's an "intuitionist". It's certainly not surprising that she has a long list of celebrity clients. We expect the Nicole Kidman's of the world to buy what sounds like, well it sounds like absolutely nothing. And she charges her corporate clients 10K a month for this "service". Obviously the story says nothing whatsoever about which companies these may be. I wonder exactly where you put an intuitionist's services on a corporate balance sheet. We've all had to deal with the occasional idiot "consultant" that ends up costing you more than he could ever be worth. Can you imagine working a a particularly vexing project only to have Ms Day come in and convice upper management that her little inner voice tells her that it's a bad idea? And I wonder what the typical stockholder think about the company spending their investment on a bunch of nothing.
It seems that not even corporate America is immune to uncritical irrationality. What amazes me to no end is that CNN runs a total non-story with absolutely no critical examination. Are there no critics of this? If this were a story on, say, stem cell research, we would have quotes from scientists along with some ridiculous, uneducated horse manure from some "family" group. What to we get here? Essentially, it's a glowing profile and advertisement for Day. It almost makes me wonder if one of her clients is a certain news media mogul.....
