How is the term still useful? How can we use therapy language as a tool for growth or an excuse for avoiding it? And whose job is it to do these dishes?

One of the big topics of conversation was, does the sudden dip represent a popping artificial intelligence bubble? And what would such a correction do to Elon Musk? On this week's episode of Elon, Inc., Bloomberg Businessweek's Max Chafkin, Bloomberg technology editor Sarah Frier and reporter Kurt Wagner discuss. Plus later on: a conversation between Chafkin and the New Yorker's Rachel Monroe and journalist Chris Hooks on what Musk's relocation to Texas has meant for the state.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Is it saucers, satanists or CIA?” wrote Tom Adams in Stigmata, the only zine dedicated to the cattle mutilation phenomenon of the 1970s and 80s, and by the end of the decade, researchers and investigators were no closer to finding the culprit. The road to the greatest UFO conspiracy of all time is a windy one, laced with paranoia, shady figures, and a carcass count in the tens of thousands. The mute phenomenon was a slow moving one that gradually gained momentum until it led to ranchers arming themselves against mystery helicopters and out-of-town strangers. Still, there were a number of oddities during this time period. In Montana, Cascade County accounted for nearly every type of phenomenon associated with their mute cases, including the discovery of a “cult” site and the appearance of that big hairy guy that likes to hang out in the Pacific Northwest, Bigfoot. In Colorado, cases reached an epidemic proportion, and the culprits were brave enough to leave one carcass at NORAD's front gate. And on Manuel Gomez's ranch in Dulce, New Mexico, the perpetrators planted evidence to make it seem like the government was definitely involved. Regardless, the mute phenomenon reached epidemic proportions, leading one U.S. Senator to convene the first conference on the topic. A conference that would lead to the greatest UFO conspiracy of all time.

Donald Trump recently staged the first major rally of his 2024 Presidential campaign in Waco, Texas. Thirty years ago, a botched federal raid on the compound of the Branch Davidians—a heavily-armed splinter group of the Seventh-day Adventist Church dominated by the charismatic David Koresh—led to a harrowing fifty-one-day siege. Just twenty miles from Waco, this standoff ended with federal tanks, tear gas, a fire, and more than seventy dead. Trump's people claim the rally's timing is coincidental, the location chosen for its convenient travel from four major Texas metropolitan areas. But in the past thirty years the siege of Waco has become a rallying cry for right-wing extremists from Timothy McVeigh to Alex Jones. Rachel Monroe is a contributing writer at The New Yorker, where she covers Texas and the Southwest. She joins Tyler Foggatt to talk about what happened in 1993, and how its mythology remains a galvanizing political force thirty years later.

This week's review is onLost at Sea - No Spoilers! This captivating seven-part series from the BBC examines the unsolved disappearance of fisheries observer Keith Davis who vanished 500 miles from shore while working on the tuna vessel The Victoria. Host New York journalist Rachel Monroe looks at the life and work of Keith Davis and other fisheries observers who spend months at sea monitoring the catches and activities of fishing vessels as the sole overseer for malpractice and mistreatment. It's far from easy work. Often seen as the enemy, fisheries observers are alone with crews who usually don't speak english with no way to contact anyone off the boat. Davis's disappearance isn't as rare as anyone might hope. On average in the last decade one fisheries observer has gone missing a year. This podcast looks not only at the disappearances and mysteries deaths of observers but other secrets of the global fishing industry like mistreatment of crew, smuggling, and human trafficking and slavery. Each episode is about 25 minutes long with the last episode coming out in November of 2022. They're made up of narrative backstory and interviews both anonymous and not. Tone and music are serious which is fitting. It's a gripping look at what could happen far from shore and watchful eyes. Similar pods: The Outlaw Ocean, The Kill List, and Captain on Deck. All right, guys, that's all for this week but  remember if you want to see the cover art, sources or the written transcript for this episode be sure to check out the show notes.

Across the United States, conservative politicians are leading a backlash against L.G.B.T.Q. identity, framing legal restrictions as protection of children. Several states have introduced laws to ban medical treatments known as gender-affirming care—including hormones and puberty blockers—prescribed to adolescents. Major medical organizations have approved the treatments, but Rachel Monroe, who has been following efforts to ban gender-affirming care in Texas, found that doctors wouldn't speak out about the political furor because the resulting attention could endanger themselves, their clinics, and their patients. One specialist, however, was willing to go on the record: Dr. Gina Sequeira, a co-director of the Gender Clinic at Seattle Children's. “I was growing so frustrated seeing the narrative around gender-affirming care provision for youth so full of misinformation and so full of blatant falsehoods that I couldn't in good conscience continue to stay quiet,” Sequeira told her. Doctors cite a body of data that gender-affirming care reduces the risk of suicide, which is high among trans youth. Sequeira's Seattle clinic has been fielding calls from Texas families looking to relocate if the proposed ban in Texas prevents their children from accessing care. “If we were to stop care, I would be afraid that our child wouldn't survive,” the mother of a trans girl told Monroe. “There's no question that she's not safe to herself.”

Lily Kay Ross, sexual violence researcher and Arts and Gender Editor at Psymposia, joins me to discuss her research and insights into the dark underbelly of psychedelic therapy — a subject expertly explored in PowerTrip, a New York Magazine investigative podcast series she is the co-creator and producer of. As psychedelics become less stigmatized in the West and popularized as tools for trauma therapy and vehicles for spiritual enlightenment, Lily Kay Ross has been documenting something far more complex and nefarious under the surface of the optimistic image of the "psychedelic renaissance": sexual misconduct and abuse; pervasive ethical malfeasance. As she documents in PowerTrip, there are numerous documented cases of so-called shamans and psychedelic guides taking advantage of their clients, violating bodily autonomy, and gaslighting victims into accepting abuse as "part of the healing journey." This issue has been raised numerous times over the years, and Lily has observed, and personally experienced, what happens when these subjects are presented to the psychedelic community: victim blaming, obfuscation, and silence. Why does this happen? If psychedelics are to be ethically applied in therapy, what protocols must be implemented to avoid these abuses from occurring? Lily Kay Ross, PhD has been taking a feminist approach to theorizing ethics in psychedelic spaces since 2009, especially with regard to sexual misconduct, abuses of power, charlatans, and the dominance of traditional gender norms in psychedelic spaces. Her PhD research looks at how neoliberal discourses burden victim/survivors of sexual violence with the directive to individually overcome social problems, and the trouble with post-traumatic growth. Her other projects advance best practice and evidence based policies and responses to sexual harm. She is a feminist writer, educator, and violence prevention facilitator. After a five year hiatus from psychedelics, she's happy to be home.

Permitless carry is the law in more than twenty states, even though it's unpopular with the vast majority of gun owners. Rachel Monroe, author of Savage Appetites: True Stories of Women, Crime, and Obsession, joins web editor Violet Lucca to discuss her latest report on the small, vocal groups of gun activists who are agitating to expand this right. The two also break down the false ideas that shape gun legislation in the U.S.—of the typical gun owner, a good guy with a gun, and of a purer past of gun ownership—along with an upcoming Supreme Court case that could lead to more armed people than ever before.

The Supreme Court last week heard oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, a case that could lead to the closure of Mississippi's last remaining abortion clinic. A law in the state bans most abortions after the fifteenth week of pregnancy—well before the time of fetal viability, which is the Supreme Court's standard. The case asks the justices directly to overturn the precedents of Planned Parenthood v. Casey and Roe v. Wade. At the center of it is the abortion clinic in Jackson. Rachel Monroe spoke to its director, Shannon Brewer; a physician, who described the risks to abortion providers; and a patient, who had driven all night from Texas, where she had been unable to obtain an abortion. “Somebody else is telling me what I should do with my body, and it's not right,” she said. “It's my body. It's my decision. It's my choice. It's my life. It's my soul, if it's going to Hell.” Produced with assistance from Ezekiel Bandy and Kim Green.

The coaching industry is entirely unregulated. That's what one writer claimed in a recent article in The Guardian. If you're been listening to the podcast for a while, you'll know that I take issue with that characterization. This week I'm deviating from my scheduled content to talk about Rachel Monroe's article “I'm a life coach, you're a life coach: the rise of an unregulated industry.” Over the past couple of days, I've seen this article everywhere. While I don't agree with it all, the article is thought-provoking, and the critiques outlined in this article bring up several issues which all of us as coaches should be thinking about in our practices. In this episode, I'm sharing my opinion on the article and the issues it raises, which are very much at the heart of the work that I do.   If you want to learn more about the resources mentioned in this episode, visit the show notes.   * * * * * *   Grow Your Coaching Practice!
