Elizabeth Holmes night at Vendome Wednesday March 20 a proposal

Elizabeth Holmes and Donald Trump are examples of people who have practiced deception to get what they want. Is it okay to practice deception to get what we want? Don’t we all do it? I think it was Hamlet who said, “I am myself indifferent honest, but yet I could accuse me of such things that it were better my mother had not borne me.”

This is grist for the mill of good dialogue.

“You see but do not observe,” Sherlock Holmes said. If we observe the case of Elizabeth Holmes carefully, we may emerge wiser about ourselves and our culture. So I propose that we do just that at Vendome on Wednesday March 20. Starts at 6 PM.

If others prefer the usual 5-minute per person format, we can do that instead.

If you’d like to take the case of Holmes, here are some data from Wikipedia
