So, Larry Ellison has an emotional block against recognizing that his doctor has genuine expertise to which he (Ellison) must defer. Instead, Ellison would rather create an anonymous pseudo-authority, which will never be able to look him in the eye and say: I, who have a name, know better than you. It will misdiagnose him, but that is better than the narcissistic injury of being forced to acknowledge dependency on another human being.<p>In a humane world, Ellison (and Musk, and Trump, and whoever) could have been diagnosed at an early age and humanely sequestered, for the sake of all the rest of us. Instead, the only approach that is available to us is to shame or criminalize mental illness, and the consequences of that only fall upon the people who harm one or a few people at a time, instead of those who blast the lives of millions.
