Latest / The Epstein Chronicles / Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein And The Specific Type Of Scientist He Liked To Collect (5/10/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: So like I said. Sciencemag dot org is where this
- 0:03article was published. The author is Jeffreymrvis and this article
- 0:08was produced in September nineteenth, twenty nineteen, the headline what
- 0:14kind of researcher did sex offender? Jeffrey Epstein liked the fund?
- 0:19He told Science before he died. In August twenty seventeen,
- 0:23I received an email an email from publicist Masha Drokhova
- 0:28asking whether I wanted to interview her client, Jeffrey Epstein.
- 0:32I saw your piece on President Donald Trump's science budget,
- 0:35she wrote, referring to a story on the president's proposed
- 0:38massive cuts to research in his twenty eighteen budget request
- 0:42to Congress. Jeffrey has an interesting perspective on what it
- 0:46will take to fill the gaps. Would you like to
- 0:48speak with him next week? And now, mind you, folks,
- 0:50this is in twenty seventeen. This is long after he
- 0:55did his bid. This is long after he was back
- 0:58in society. And he was already right back in good
- 1:04graces with New York's so called polite society right when
- 1:08he got out of jail. And then obviously he was
- 1:12still working the back room channels, in the backroom networks
- 1:17to get his hands in on more of these scientific
- 1:20type projects so he could have more influence. You think
- 1:22he was just doing this out of the kindness of
- 1:24his heart. We know Jeffrey Epstein didn't do anything out
- 1:27of the kindness of his heart. Everything that he did
- 1:29was hoping that in two moves later it would pay off,
- 1:33and pay off in spades for him, not for you,
- 1:36not for any of the core four. It was all
- 1:38about him. Why would science talk to a shadowy financier
- 1:43and a convicted sex offender. I queried my editors, How strange?
- 1:48One said, wonder why he's seek and pressed now? Another asked.
- 1:51Eventually we decided I should accept the invitation on the
- 1:55chance that Epstein would say something newsworthy, and on September eighth,
- 1:59two thousand seventeen, I reached him via Skype at his
- 2:02mansion in New York City's fashionable Upper East Side. According
- 2:06to federal prosecutors, that is also where Epstein engaged in
- 2:10sex acts with teenage girls during naked massage sessions. Oh,
- 2:13according to federal prosecutors on yeah, them and as well
- 2:16as the girls themselves. Yeah, that's definitely what occurred there. Okay,
- 2:20you don't have to be worried, don't be timid. Nobody's
- 2:22gonna sue you, okay, mister author. Epstein began the eighty
- 2:27minute interview by asking me to agree, if we wrote
- 2:30a story based on the interview, not to use any
- 2:33quotes without first getting his permission. I have lots of detractors,
- 2:37he said, so certain things phrased the wrong way could
- 2:40make trouble for you and I. I you and I
- 2:42I agreed to his terms. I mean, really, you agree
- 2:46to his terms. Huh, that's nice. This author what's his name?
- 2:49Hold on, let's go back and take a look here.
- 2:51Jeffrey Jeffrey Mervis agreed to Jeffrey Epstein's terms just to
- 2:58get the interview with him. That's what's wrong with our media, folks.
- 3:01I'll let you know right now. I'm not agreeing to
- 3:03any terms for any sort of interview. I'm going to
- 3:07ask the questions that I want to ask, and I'm
- 3:09not going to run them by anybody to make sure
- 3:12that they're okay. That's not how any of this works.
- 3:15We're not going to play that game where I give
- 3:18you a bunch of answers before a bunch of questions beforehand.
- 3:21So you can rehearse your answers. No way, that's not
- 3:24how this game is played. Now, two years later, a
- 3:29more complete picture of Epstein's alleged predations has emerged, and
- 3:32last month, the disgraced financier Pedophile hanged himself in jail
- 3:37after being arrested on federal charges of sex trafficking. My
- 3:41editors and I concluded that, given Epstein's death and the
- 3:44intense interest in his support of science, we could quote
- 3:47him in this story. What follows are Epstein's views on
- 3:51scientific philanthropy and the experiences of a few of the
- 3:54many scientists drawn into his orbit. Oh so he dies,
- 3:59and and thesciencemag dot Org get some courage and they're like,
- 4:03oh now we'll quote him. This shoddy work. You know,
- 4:06this is the kind of shit that makes me really
- 4:08agitated as an independent content creator, as an independent journalist.
- 4:12This doesn't fly. How could the hell hell? How does
- 4:15this kind of stuff fly? So two years later you'd decide, oh, yeah, well,
- 4:17I'm gonna run it now after he's dead. Why were
- 4:20you so scared of him? Why was everybody so scared
- 4:22of him? I just don't understand it. It doesn't compute
- 4:25with me. Money I understand. In the interview, Epstein was,
- 4:31by turns modest. I'm not the most I'm not more
- 4:34than a hobbyist in science and boastful. But money I understand,
- 4:38and I'm a pretty good mathematician. He was eager to
- 4:41discuss his philosophy of giving and how science works. However,
- 4:45some of those views struck me as contradictory, and others
- 4:48were outdated or discredited. The overarching goal of his charity.
- 4:54Of his charity, he said, was to compensate for the
- 4:57Trump administration cutting back on pure research. It seemed like
- 5:01a grandiose claim. Although he repeatedly dodged my request for
- 5:05specific amounts, his scientific donations over the past twenty years
- 5:09are unlikely to have exceeded a few tens of millions
- 5:12of dollars. That's some pales next. That's some pales next
- 5:16to the US government's annual research budget of one hundred
- 5:19and fifty billion. And it's small even compared with the
- 5:22nine and ten figure gifts to science from many super
- 5:26wealthy individuals. Yeah, but you guys all took it right. Oh,
- 5:30it pales in comparison, And oh, Jeffrey Epstein really wasn't
- 5:33that big of a donor to the scientific world. Yeah right,
- 5:37mister Nervis. Millions and millions and tens of millions of
- 5:41dollars donated, And how much was donated behind the scenes,
- 5:44How much was given into the palms of these scientists,
- 5:47how much money was given for secrets? I asked who.
- 5:56I asked who he chooses to fund. I'm looking for
- 5:59smart people who might have a great idea, he answered.
- 6:02I'm making a bet that certain people, not a lot
- 6:04of them, can do great things if they simply can
- 6:06be freed up to think and freed up from writing
- 6:09grants and having to worry about the necessities of life. Remember,
- 6:12I'm not building a laboratory, so my money goes to
- 6:15support them in a nicer way than being on a
- 6:17postdoc salary. I asked him how that approach differs from
- 6:21the so called Genius Awards from the John D. And
- 6:24Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, which gives out five year grants
- 6:28of six hundred thousand dollars and asks nothing in return.
- 6:32That's completely different from Jeffrey Epstein. If Jeffrey Epstein was
- 6:36giving you money, he expected something at some point. It
- 6:39might not be now, it might not be tomorrow, but
- 6:42eventually you would pay the piper. I asked him how
- 6:46that approach differs. Excuse me, we read that already. It's
- 6:49night and day, he replied. If you look at the
- 6:51MacArthur Awards origins, there were scientists like physics Nobel Laureate
- 6:56Murray Gellman on the committee looking for the world's smartest people.
- 7:00But over the years, big institutions like MacArthur have become
- 7:03politically correct. If you look at their awards in the
- 7:06past five years, they're concerned with diversity. Again, Epstein was
- 7:10not concerned with diversity. Okay, Epstein was very racist. From
- 7:15inside sources that I've spoken to Epstein and his whole
- 7:18entire circle, they were very, very racist. They did not
- 7:22like minorities whatsoever, and in fact, they didn't even like
- 7:26poor white people. They were very They were very sick people.
- 7:30It was a very sick group of people. Now, I'm
- 7:33all for diversity, but all for diversity of excellent ideas,
- 7:37not for diversity and the people who received grants. Epstein continued,
- 7:41he seemed to view science as something done by a
- 7:43self perpetuating scientific priesthood that ignored anyone not like themselves. Well,
- 7:48that's because the scientists in his circle, like Murray, Gellman
- 7:51and Minski and the rest of these sick bastards Kraus,
- 7:54these were all fellow travelers. These were all people who
- 7:58had the same predilio predilction as Epstein, the same proclivities
- 8:01as Epstein. They might have not acted upon them the
- 8:05way he did, But these people that were around him,
- 8:08these scientists that these girls were given to, they were
- 8:11just as sick as Epstein. His next comment was even
- 8:15more retrograde. Now, the MacArthur grants are sort of a
- 8:19good citizen award for being exemplary citizens, as opposed for
- 8:22being a great scientist. Something you're able to tell being
- 8:27smart is the sign, the sign qua non for Epstein.
- 8:31So how I wondered did he go about identifying such
- 8:35budding talent. One way was to ask teachers. I talked
- 8:39to lots of professors, he told me, And I asked them,
- 8:41how long does it take you to figure out in
- 8:43a class of three hundred who the three smartest kids are,
- 8:46he explained, And usually they'll say they know by the
- 8:49end of the first class. I don't believe that. I
- 8:52definitely don't believe that that's how it happens. And again,
- 8:55Jeffrey Epstein is very boisterous. We know that he was
- 8:57very boastful. He always he's we used a bit of
- 9:03embellishment when telling his stories. Right, he wasn't very very
- 9:08truthful when telling these stories. According to people that knew him,
- 9:12and we see it. He was very very bombastic in
- 9:16a sense. But Epstein also thought that a science writer
- 9:21might do just as well. Okay, jeff who would you fund?
- 9:24He asked me. At one point, You've met a lot
- 9:27of interesting people and talked to them. Who stood out?
- 9:30I demurred, saying I was a journalist, not a scientist,
- 9:33and that there were many people much more qualified to
- 9:36judge someone's scientific potential. He responded with flattery. I've listened
- 9:40to the way you asked questions, Epstein replied, You ask
- 9:43good questions. When you interview someone, you must get a
- 9:46sense of whether they are quick, smart, or creative or
- 9:50all three. I think that people don't trust their sense
- 9:52of who's smart. Epstein, on the other hand, obviously he
- 9:56was just the best judge of who was smart. He
- 9:59was the greatest talent judge in the whole world. He
- 10:02was just the absolute pinnacle of finding out who the
- 10:06best scientists were. According to Jeffrey Epstein. Anyway, when I
- 10:11refused to take the bait, he abruptly shifted the conversation
- 10:14to animals. Do you have any pets, he asked, I don't,
- 10:17but I offered up my adult daughters. My adult daughter
- 10:20has a dog, a hamster, and several fish. Epstein plowed ahead.
- 10:24I'm not sure about the hamster, he responded, But if
- 10:26you asked if your daughter's dog was smart or not,
- 10:29my guess is that you'd say it was either a
- 10:30smart dog or a dumb dog. And it wouldn't be
- 10:33because you're an expert on dogs. It's just something that
- 10:35you're able to tell after a while. And again, this
- 10:38was the opinion he had of the rest of us folks.
- 10:40He thought we were all so stupid. He thought everybody
- 10:43was so damn dumb that nobody was ever going to
- 10:46catch on to him. He thought that he had a
- 10:47beautiful mind. In reality, he was nowhere near as smart
- 10:52as he thought he was, and he was nowhere near
- 10:54as slick as he thought he was. He was being
- 10:56protected by people that were much more powerful than him,
- 10:59and people that were using him. At the end of
- 11:02the day, Jeffrey Epstein was an object that was used
- 11:05and tossed away when it had no use to them anymore. Certainly,
- 11:10my opinion on it tippy tip of the top. Epstein
- 11:16said his approach to giving was aimed at achieving scientific breakthroughs,
- 11:19but his view of the current state of innovation was
- 11:22surprisingly gloomy. Frankly, jeff, since the discovery of penicillin in
- 11:26nineteen twenty eight, there's been no really remarkable discovery, he said.
- 11:30I followed the genome project, and there's lots of hope,
- 11:33but in terms of a real product, there's probably nothing
- 11:36that has kept more people alive than penicillin. I can't
- 11:38really disagree with that. I hate to agree with Epstein
- 11:41on anything, but penicillin was a serious game changer. Now.
- 11:44I don't know if there hasn't been any remarkable discovery
- 11:49since then. I'm not qualified to make that assertion, but
- 11:52I will say that penicillin was a fantastic find. Epstein
- 11:57was quick to distinguish his approach from the path taken
- 11:59by other people, by others both dead and alive, many
- 12:03of them with wealth that far exceeded his own. The
- 12:05Bill and Melinda Gates foundation doesn't search for smart people.
- 12:08He asserted. Bill wants to cure polio, he wants to
- 12:11eliminate poverty. But in terms of coming up with new
- 12:14theories of biology or some new form of mathematics, zero interest.
- 12:19And I'm not I'm not gonna even begin to pretend
- 12:23that I like Bill Gates or what he's about. I
- 12:26think that Bill Gates had a much more cozy relationship
- 12:28with Jeffrey Epstein than he likes to let on, and
- 12:30I think he should come forward with that information, and
- 12:33he should be very transparent. He shouldn't be hiding his
- 12:36relationship with Epstein, especially when it's going to come out eventually.
- 12:40He should just be very upfront about it and tell
- 12:43people what the deal was, because being hiding in the
- 12:47shadows the way he does with his relation in regard
- 12:50to his relationship with Epstein, it's just a bad look
- 12:53for him. It does not serve him well, and it
- 12:55leaves questions, and those questions we're going to ask them.
- 12:59We're not gonna away from them because it's Bill Gates
- 13:02or anybody. It does not matter if you were brought
- 13:05up in this case and you're in court documents or
- 13:07it's found out that you are very friendly with Jeffrey Epstein,
- 13:10especially after his conviction. Then I have some questions that
- 13:13are going to be asked on this podcast. Epstein said.
- 13:18He also dispensed with the accountability that typically goes with
- 13:21a grant. When I've given money to a scientist, they're
- 13:24usually somewhat surprised, and then they say, what type of
- 13:27reports would you like? Is it for a milestone for
- 13:30my next grant? And I giggle and say no. The
- 13:32concept is you know your field best. Letting people with
- 13:36lots of money have input into what you do doesn't
- 13:38make any sense to me. I don't know if I
- 13:41buy that. I honestly, look, there's a reason Jeffrey Epstein
- 13:45wanted all of these scientists in his sphere, and of
- 13:48course it had to do with his own crazy ass
- 13:51genome projects and seeding of the human race with his DNA.
- 13:56Of course it has to do with that. But a
- 13:58lot of these scientists we're working on very secure projects,
- 14:05projects that are classified in some cases, et cetera, et cetera,
- 14:08And now they're receiving money from Jeffrey Epstein, and not
- 14:11only receiving money, they're also being invited to his island,
- 14:15and once they get to the island, if they engage
- 14:18in any activity with an underage girl, well now he
- 14:20has them, he owns them. So now not only did
- 14:23he give you money, but he has video of you
- 14:26being engaged of engaged with minors in very compromising situations.
- 14:34So if we believe the intelligence angle, and we believe that,
- 14:39I certainly believe that there were multiple intelligence apparatus at
- 14:44work here, not just the Masade. But look, let's be
- 14:48very clear, the Massade is the younger brother. The Massad
- 14:51does not operate without the CIA being involved on this
- 14:55sort of scale in America. Zero chance of that happening.
- 14:58Just go ahead and squash that and get it out
- 14:59of your mind right now. The CIA is the big
- 15:02bad wolf, folks. Okay, the Masad, you know, Look, they
- 15:05have their own problems. There's no doubt. I'm not going
- 15:07to sit here and sing the praises of the Masad
- 15:10because I'm not a fan. But the real problem in
- 15:12the world, in my opinion, is the CIA. As to
- 15:18whose approach to charity he admired, Epstein said his sole
- 15:22role model was billionaire James Simmons, a fellow hedge fund
- 15:25manager and a PhD mathematician Simmons has poured some of
- 15:29his great wealth into found into the into a foundation
- 15:32that supports budding mathematicians and math educators. But unlike Simmons,
- 15:36Epstein said he felt no obligation to help foster a
- 15:39more scientific, literate population. Exactly he did. Again, this article
- 15:45is showing better than anything we've read about how he
- 15:47feels about normal people, the average folks. He doesn't care
- 15:52about a more literate population. His goals weren't for uh
- 15:57civilization as a whole. His goals were very, very self serving.
- 16:00He was trying to find the scientists that could help
- 16:03him out with his goals, and the scientists also that
- 16:06we're working on projects that were not only of interest
- 16:09to him but to his people. I'm interested in rarefied peaks,
- 16:15he said, in response to why he hasn't funded any
- 16:17efforts to improve science education. I have no insight into
- 16:20that area. Zero. Again, I'm trying to reach the smartest
- 16:24of the smart It's the same issue in terms of money.
- 16:27My clients are not in any way near the middle.
- 16:29They're at the tippy tip of the top of the pyramid.
- 16:32Oh you're so special, Jeff isn't that great. You know,
- 16:35the rest of us should just bow down to you,
- 16:37and we should all just look up at you in awe. Meanwhile,
- 16:41you're the sickest, disgusting bastard in the history of the
- 16:44world and the lowest poorest person amongst us. Is more
- 16:48important than you'll ever be. The legacy you have left
- 16:52on this earth, Jeffrey Epstein is one that is going
- 16:55to go down in infamy. Rebels who don't fit in
- 17:02the researchers Epstein chose to support. It was becoming clearer
- 17:06fit the old stereotype of scientists whose brilliance makes them
- 17:09social outcasts. The MIT Media Lab is a good example,
- 17:13he said. The Cambridge based university has launched an independent
- 17:16investigation into what it's president called the deeply disturbing relationship
- 17:21between Epstein and the lab, whose director Joi Eto, resigned
- 17:25following media reports that Epstein had invested in his private
- 17:28companies as well as donating to the lab. And I
- 17:32kind of mentioned that earlier today about how it wasn't
- 17:35only donations on a level of all, right, here you're
- 17:39working on a science a project, I'm going to give
- 17:41you this money for that project. No, he was funding
- 17:43these guys as well, giving them money for them to
- 17:46do whatever they want to live their best lives. And
- 17:49again back to the RICO situation, if they slap them
- 17:53with RICO, well they'd have to trace this money. And
- 17:56if anyone received money from this criminal enterprise, then they're
- 18:00caught up in the Rico investigation as well. I would
- 18:06say twenty five percent of the kids there are autistic
- 18:09on the spectrum, Epstein opined. They don't really work in groups,
- 18:12they're not taking classes, they're not given teaching assignments, they
- 18:15don't have lots to do. They're there to think. I
- 18:18don't really have much to say about that. I have
- 18:20no idea how many people are on the spectrum at MIT,
- 18:24or how operations work within the building. What I will
- 18:27say is this, I'm not impressed because it's MIT. I'm
- 18:30not impressed because it's Harvard. What. Sick people don't go
- 18:33to Harvard, Oh they sure do. Sick people don't go
- 18:35to MIT, Oh they sure do. Just because you're smart,
- 18:39just because you're successful, just because you're rich, doesn't mean
- 18:43that that's a shield for you, That that's not armor.
- 18:46That doesn't make me say, oh, well he's rich or
- 18:48he's super smart. He couldn't be involved in any of this.
- 18:51It's actually the opposite. At this point, those traits appeal
- 18:57to Epstein on two levels. It's my natural bent to
- 18:59move toward the maverick and rebels who don't fit in.
- 19:02He noted, they were probably overlooked in school. They were
- 19:05definitely never class president. Such outsiders, in Epstein's opinion, are
- 19:09also less likely likely to kowtow to the scientific establishment,
- 19:13which he regarded as inherently conservative. He wanted people that
- 19:18were willing to walk a separate way, willing to dance
- 19:25to Jeffrey Epstein's drum, and not the norms in the
- 19:28scientific community. He'll say all this other crap, this other garbage.
- 19:31Oh it was still conservative and blah blah blah blah blah.
- 19:34But in reality he wanted people that were going to
- 19:36march to his tune. The older guys usually just tell
- 19:41you what what doesn't work, he asserted, And the referees
- 19:45of pure reviewed journals have also become politically sensitive. Everybody
- 19:49knows who the reviewer is that has turned them down
- 19:52because he's been asking the same question any number of times.
- 19:56Yet Epstein readily admitted to asking prominent members of the
- 19:59scientific is STA establishment to assess the potential contribution of
- 20:03these so called outcasts. So I had Jim Watson to
- 20:08the house, and I asked Watson, what does he think
- 20:11about this idea, a proposal to study how the cellular
- 20:14mechanisms of plants might be relevant to human cancer. Watson
- 20:17is a Nobel laureate and co discoverer of the structure
- 20:20of DNA. Likewise, with Noam Chomsky on artificial intelligence, he said,
- 20:25referring to one of the pioneers in the field, isn't
- 20:29that nice, hun? Noam Chomsk and Chomsky hanging out with Epstein,
- 20:31another guy that likes to yell down from the rooftops
- 20:34about how he's so much smarter than the rest of us,
- 20:37and how none of us know how civilization's supposed to work. Meanwhile,
- 20:41he's paling around with Jeffrey Epstein. Remember that next time
- 20:44you quote your boy Gnome. In fact, Epstein expressed great
- 20:50respect for the opinions of these elder statesmen. It's funny
- 20:53to watch Noam Chomsky rip apart these young boys who
- 20:56talk about having a thinking machine. Epstein noted, he takes
- 21:00a dagger and slices them very kindly into shreds. Nobody cares.
- 21:04I've never liked Chomsky anyway, and this puts an even
- 21:07a worst taste in my mouth about the dude. We
- 21:09know Chomsky is a sick dude probably as well. Right,
- 21:12all of these dudes that were running together, at the
- 21:14very least they were enabling Jeffrey Epstein, So you can
- 21:18miss me with the Noam Chomsky bullshit from here on out.
- 21:22A notorious name dropper. Epstein clearly savored his access to
- 21:26scientific superstars. As you might know, I was very close
- 21:30to Marvin Minsky for quite a long time. I funded
- 21:33some of Marvin's projects. Yeah, you also provided a young
- 21:36girl for him to abuse. Remember Marvin's one of the
- 21:41people that Virginia has named directly. He he said about
- 21:47one of the founders of artificial intelligence, a long time
- 21:50MIT professor who died in twenty sixteen. And Marvin told
- 21:54me there was this young guy in Germany who had
- 21:56a very unique idea about artificial intelligence or so. I
- 22:01was just with Roger Penrose as a distinguished theoretical physicist
- 22:06who leads an institute in San Diego, California. And Roger
- 22:10told me about an Indian woman physicist who has come
- 22:13up with the idea of using a Bose Einstein condensate
- 22:17a collection of super cooled atoms to find gravitational waves.
- 22:22Again with the name dropping, So has anybody talked to
- 22:25Roger Penrose about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein? Maybe I
- 22:29should get on that. Maybe I should figure out who
- 22:31Roger Penrose was and what his relationship to Jeffrey Epstein
- 22:34was when he was accepting this money. You know, again,
- 22:38like I said last night reading the Daily Beast article,
- 22:41when they were talking about how one of the survivors
- 22:44slapped a rico suit on top of her civil suit,
- 22:47I had no idea about that, And that's the same here.
- 22:50I'm not familiar with Roger Penrose in this story. But
- 22:53that's why these drops and these daily updates are so important,
- 22:57because we unearthed things that we might have missed. I
- 23:01let them decide. Epstein said he usually gave out his
- 23:04money anonymously because he had no interest in publicity and
- 23:08because he understood that his notoriety might be a burden
- 23:11to grantees. It's not really a secret, but it's private,
- 23:15he explained about his gifts. I let them decide. If
- 23:18you want to tell people you got it from me, fine,
- 23:20If you prefer not to for your own personal reasons,
- 23:22that's okay too. Come on, really, Jeffrey Epstein wanted everybody
- 23:31to know who he was giving his money to. Now,
- 23:33maybe after the fact he was a little bit more
- 23:35coy about it, but the overall idea remains the same.
- 23:40The reason for him giving this money remains the same.
- 23:43The reason for him funding these scientists remain the same.
- 23:47I wondered how the recipients saw it. The researcher Minsky
- 23:50had flagged for Epstein, Joshka Back, declined repeated requests from
- 23:54me to discuss his ties to Epstein, but a twenty
- 23:57eighteen paper on his theory of consciousness acknowledged support from
- 24:01the Jeffrey Epstein Foundation, and Bach has been listed in
- 24:04media italies of Epstein's grantees. Bach represents the type of
- 24:08scientists for whom Epstein claimed his money can make a
- 24:11big difference. You don't have to think about money for
- 24:13the next five years, Epstein said, he told Bach as
- 24:16the researcher prepared to move to MIT's Media Lab in
- 24:19twenty fourteen. Epstein says Minsky helped arrange the appointment. Minsky
- 24:25is a huge part of Epstein's scientific wait. Minsky was
- 24:31one of the big dogs that had Jeffrey Epstein. That
- 24:34really gave him credibility in the science, in the world
- 24:37of science, because everybody respected Minsky as a scientist. And
- 24:41when he vouched for Epstein, well, the rest of the
- 24:43boys came on board. And once Epstein was there, and
- 24:46once he started talking to them and you know, drawing
- 24:50them into his bubble, well, money, access to girls, et cetera,
- 24:55et cetera. That story, talk to these folks. Two years later,
- 25:00Back moved to Harvard University's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, which
- 25:04was founded by Martin Noak, another beneficiary beneficiary of Epstein's charity.
- 25:10In February, Bach left Harvard and became vice president of
- 25:13Research at the AI Foundation, based in San Francisco, San Francisco, California.
- 25:19For SETH. Lloyd, a self described quantum engineer, taking Epstein's
- 25:22money initially seemed a no brainer. Already a tenured MIT professor,
- 25:26when he met Epstein in two thousand and four at
- 25:28a party hosted by his literary agent, John Brockman, Lloyd
- 25:32was charmed by Epstein during several subsequent meetings at Harvard.
- 25:36Mister Epstein offered me a grant to do research, which
- 25:39I accepted, Lloyd wrote in an email after declining to
- 25:42be interviewed. He seemed to like my work on ideas
- 25:45of information and computation being the fundamental substrate of the universe.
- 25:50Lloyd received additional donations from Epstein in twenty twelve and
- 25:53twenty seventeen to support his MIT lab. There are lots
- 25:57of topics in this field that were not funded by
- 26:00other grants, Lloyd notes. Last week, MIT president Ralph Reef
- 26:04acknowledged signing a thank you letter sent to Epstein after
- 26:07his twenty twelve donation, and again both of these donations
- 26:12in twenty twelve in twenty seventeen were after he had
- 26:17been arrested, and for Seth Lloyd to take that money,
- 26:20it's gross. Seth Lloyd is an absolute disgrace for taking
- 26:23that money. Last month, however, Lloyd publicly addressed the ethical
- 26:27issues involved with taking Epstein's money, and an August twenty
- 26:31second blog post titled I Am writing to apologize to
- 26:34Jeffrey Epstein's victims, Lloyd related how the job of a
- 26:37scientist is to look for truth, and the job of
- 26:40a teacher is to help the people to empower themselves.
- 26:43I failed to do my job on both counts. Yeah,
- 26:46the apology is all fine and well, but you knew
- 26:48what he did and you still took the money. My
- 26:51comment stands, I don't Lloyd, You're a piece of garbage, buddy. Sorry,
- 26:56it would be very tempting. I vet. Fointes is the
- 27:00physicist whose work on detecting gravitational waves Penrose described to Epstein,
- 27:04But unlike back and Lloyd, Fointes says Epstein's name immediately
- 27:09raised a red flag. For the record. Fotes grew Foyintes
- 27:12grew up in Mexico, not India, and did her PhD
- 27:15at Imperial College London. Penrose and Epstein had met met
- 27:19at a June twenty seventeen conference on the Science of
- 27:22Consciousness in San Diego. Although the topic of consciousness is
- 27:26not what I do. When I saw the list of
- 27:28speakers and was offered a plenary talk, I decided that
- 27:32it would be a good thing for me and a
- 27:34good audience to hear about my experiment, says Fointes, a
- 27:38professor at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom,
- 27:42whose work is supported by the Penrose Institute. Shortly after
- 27:46returning home, Foyintes says she and Penrose had a conversation.
- 27:49Would I be interested in receiving funding from a wealthy
- 27:52man who had been convicted of a sex offense. Fointes
- 27:55recalls Penrose asking her, Penro shouldn't even be asking this
- 27:59question actually to a woman. Penro should be ashamed of himself,
- 28:02and he definitely needs to answer some questions. Foyintez immediately
- 28:07said no, citing ethical objections, and quickly forgot about the conversation.
- 28:11But two months ago, after reading that Epstein had been arrested,
- 28:14she called Penrose. Was it Epstein? She asked him, and
- 28:17he said yes, I think it was, And I said,
- 28:20oh god. Foyintes is hoping to get a few million
- 28:24dollars from a European funding agency to build a prototype
- 28:27of her project, a room sized version of an existing facility,
- 28:31the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory that has cost the
- 28:37US National Science Foundation more than one billion dollars. Epstein's
- 28:41money might have accelerated her work, but that was never
- 28:44an option for her. Well, yeah, and it shouldn't be
- 28:47your resp your resperk. Your work will be more respected
- 28:51by doing it the old fashioned way, getting donors who
- 28:54actually have, you know, a good, good intentions when when
- 28:58they're giving you that money, they at want to see
- 29:00the science moved forward. They actually want to see people
- 29:03do a good job, and they want to see the
- 29:05world be a better place. That was never Epstein's motivation
- 29:08with these scientists. That was never what he was about.
- 29:13The dream of my life is to build a gravitational
- 29:16wave detector and have it work. She says. So if
- 29:19someone were to say to me, I'll give you the
- 29:20money to make your dream come true, it would be
- 29:23very tempting to say yes. But then you have your
- 29:25ethical standards, even if you lose some opportunities, saying no
- 29:29is the right thing to do. What Epstein has taught
- 29:32me is how important it is to do that. You
- 29:34should have taught everybody in the science world about that.
- 29:37At this point, nobody should be taking money from people
- 29:39like Jeffrey Epstein. It doesn't matter the walk of life,
- 29:42and it doesn't matter the purpose of this money. Guys
- 29:44like Jeffrey Epstein should have been completely and utterly ostracized
- 29:49after his first arrest. He should have never been able
- 29:51to come back into polite society. He should have never
- 29:53been able to continue with his criminal enterprise. But so
- 29:57many people like these scientists and others, gave him the
- 30:00credibility and offer him a vehicle to insert himself back
- 30:03into public life, and the survivors are still left waiting
- 30:11for justice. All right, everybody, if you'd like to contact me,
- 30:15you can do that at Bobbycapuchi at proton mail dot com.
- 30:18That's bobbycap u Cci at ProtonMail dot com. You can
- 30:24also find me on Twitter at Bobby Underscore cap u Cci.
- 30:29Every one, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. You
- 30:34can't talk about Jeffrey Epstein unless you're talking about all
- 30:38of the money he was pumping into the world of
- 30:40academia and into the pockets of scientists. Yet all we've
- 30:45had is silence from these people. None of them have
- 30:49come forward and said, well, you know what, we saw
- 30:51some goofy shit going on down at Epstein's Island when
- 30:54we were there for the Edge Foundation. None of them
- 30:56said anything like that. And I have said from the
- 30:59very beginning, you know how these scientists are for the
- 31:02most part. None of these dudes were picked first in Pe.
- 31:05None of these dudes were playing football or baseball or
- 31:08popular for the most part, I would guess. And then
- 31:12they get to this island with all of these beautiful
- 31:15girls and they think they literally just hit the lottery. Well,
- 31:19guess what for the smartest people amongst us, You're pretty
- 31:23damn stupid. And it's laughable to me that the scientific
- 31:28community still won't take responsibility, still won't step up to
- 31:32the plate. You have very very few people from the
- 31:35world of academia who have stepped up and pointed out
- 31:39the wrongdoings here and how the science community in general
- 31:42was wrong accepting Jeffrey Epstein as a patron. And let's
- 31:46not act like it was just one or two people
- 31:48he was donating to. Let's not act like it was
- 31:51just one or two campuses. This dude was trolling. This
- 31:55man had many fingers in many pies. And it's an embarrassment, honestly,
- 32:02that there hasn't been more of a spotlight put on academia,
- 32:05put on these scientists that took his money. Now, how
- 32:08many of these scientists were working on private projects, secure projects,
- 32:14and how much of that information found its way into
- 32:17Jeffrey Epstein's hands. Now again, look, maybe none of it
- 32:20did right, Maybe none of it did, But that's a
- 32:23question that surely has to be asked. When you're dealing
- 32:26with sensitive material, you're dealing with places like the Santa
- 32:30Fe Institute, you're dealing with Los Alamos. There's a lot
- 32:34of sensitive projects that are going on in places such
- 32:37as that. And when you have a patron like Jeffrey
- 32:39Epstein who is donating hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars,
- 32:43that opens a lot of doors for these people. And
- 32:46that was Jeffrey Epstein's goal. What you thought he was
- 32:49just some great patron of science. He just wanted to
- 32:52make humanity better. That was never his goal. You wear
- 32:56what Maria said the other night about Jeffrey Epstein. It
- 32:59was always a out how he could increase his own wealth,
- 33:01his own power. He never just gave freely. He wasn't
- 33:04some charitable man. We've talked about this a million times
- 33:08on the podcast, how these people wrap themselves up in
- 33:11charity like its armor, and then they expect us all
- 33:13to believe that, well, since I donated to this charity
- 33:16or started this charity, I can't be involved in any
- 33:19of this. Well, newsflash, we're not buying the bullshit anymore,
- 33:24and it's about time that the world of academia gets
- 33:26called out onto the carpet for their bullshit as well.
- 33:31All Right, today we have an article from Evolution News
- 33:35and Science Today. Now, this one I pulled out of
- 33:37the catalog considering we're a little slow as far as
- 33:41what's going on with Juror fifty and the rest of
- 33:43the stuff that is currently going on. So we yanked
- 33:47this one out of the archive because it's still very
- 33:50very relevant. Considering there has not been enough done here
- 33:54with these scientists and they continued to just go on
- 33:57with their business. How many of them have been swooped
- 33:59up by an another Jeffrey Epstein. Again, I don't have
- 34:02that evidence to prove that. That's just a question. Headline
- 34:07Jeffrey Epstein and the Silence of Scientists. This article was
- 34:11authored by Michael Egner. Literary scholars have an adage about
- 34:18the interpretation of texts. They point out that the really
- 34:22important things in a text are often what is not
- 34:25said more so than what is said, And we talk
- 34:28about that a lot too. Right the lies of omission
- 34:32when you're omitting things. It's still a lie, and there's
- 34:35a lot of omission when it comes to the history
- 34:37of scientists and Jeffrey Epstein. To really understand the story,
- 34:43you have to read between the lines. What should be
- 34:46in this story but was left out? What was the
- 34:49motive for the emissions? This often reveals deep purposes and
- 34:54themes that are obscured in the explicit words on the page.
- 34:58It's at it. It's comparable to Sherlock Holmes's dog that
- 35:03didn't bark. Silence is often the real meaning in a story,
- 35:08and that is for sure right A lot of times
- 35:10you'll see these journalists or these print editors or whatever,
- 35:15beat around the bush. They'll dance around the edges, they'll
- 35:18play touch butt in the park, but they'll never get
- 35:20down to it, will they. And those are lies of omission.
- 35:25They know the deal, they know what's going on, but
- 35:27for whatever reason, they refuse to put pen to paper
- 35:32and let everybody else know the deal. The scientific scandal
- 35:36involving pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is horrifying, but it's vital that
- 35:41we understand the real meaning of the collaboration between Epstein
- 35:45and the science elites, and this is very crucial, right,
- 35:48because these scientists, these very scientists, are the ones that
- 35:52are dictating public policy at this point. And I don't
- 35:56know about you, folks, but I'm not comfortable with that.
- 35:58I'm certainly not comfortable with a bunch of Jeffrey Epstein's
- 36:01friends dictating my future or what's right or what's wrong. Now.
- 36:05I'm not saying everybody who's in the scientific community who's
- 36:09making policy is friends with Epstein, but you gotta believe
- 36:12that some of these people that were close to Epstein,
- 36:15these people that were at the edge conferences with them,
- 36:18Brockman's friends. I'm not comfortable with it at all, folks. Honestly,
- 36:24the most important meaning in the partnership between Epstein and
- 36:27the leading Darwinists and computer scientists isn't the depravity of
- 36:31the man in his elite scientific friends. The most important
- 36:35meaning is in the silence in the scientific community in
- 36:38the midst of this atrocity. And honestly, one of the
- 36:43only people to speak out as far as academia goes
- 36:46is doctor Stephen Delay, and he has been very, very
- 36:49forceful with his pushback against his colleagues in academia and
- 36:54their behavior. There is no reason that these people should
- 37:00be taking money from Epstein. There's no reason that Epstein
- 37:03should have the access to the campus or an office
- 37:08on a campus. None of that should have occurred. But
- 37:12these people that are working on these projects, or these scientists,
- 37:15they're like anyone else, right, they can be manipulated and
- 37:20a few hundred thousand dollars is a good salve to
- 37:23put on the wound. What didn't happen. What didn't happen
- 37:29is this, There was no dissent in the scientific profession
- 37:32about taking guidance and money from a convicted pedophile who
- 37:36was obviously trafficking children for sex. Not a word, and
- 37:40he is one hundred percent right. I mean, let's not
- 37:44cut corners here. Okay, all of these people who acted
- 37:47like they had no idea what Epstein was up to,
- 37:50especially after the first arrest, are allying now. The people
- 37:55that were associated with him before his first arrest. I
- 37:58still don't believe they they had no idea what was
- 38:01going on, but at least they can say, hey, look,
- 38:03this guy wasn't convicted. At the time, I had no idea,
- 38:06But after the fact, I have zero time to listen
- 38:11to any excuse you have about how you had no
- 38:14idea what was going on. What Google didn't work for you. You
- 38:17didn't have a search engine that you could type his
- 38:19name into and see what was up. And for some
- 38:22of the smartest people in the world, you mofos look
- 38:27pretty damn stupid right now. At every stage of this
- 38:33repellent saga, from Epstein's early forays into scientific patronage twenty
- 38:38years ago, through his conviction for child prostitution in two
- 38:41thousand and eight, to his largest as a patron of
- 38:45elite Darwinists and computer scientists at MIT, Harvard, the Santa
- 38:49Fe Institute, the transhumanist project, Humanity Plus, and many others
- 38:54in the decade that followed, there was from the scientific
- 38:58community abject silence. And why do you think if these
- 39:02scientists would have spoke up, they would have lost their patronage,
- 39:06They would have lost this money, this funding, And nobody
- 39:08wanted to step on Epstein's toes. They were all terrified
- 39:11to this guy. And it's sad, right because now when
- 39:16you look back on it and you look at all
- 39:18of these scientists and all of these big shots who
- 39:21were complicit, it leaves a real bad taste in your mouth,
- 39:24doesn't it. How is it that the only person that
- 39:27is being held responsible for this is Glaine Maxwell. Now,
- 39:30don't get me wrong, she is the most disgusting of
- 39:33the group and she should be in prison for the
- 39:35rest of her life. But what about these other people
- 39:38that these girls were being trafficked to. They don't hold
- 39:40any responsibility for their decisions or their actions, no self
- 39:44responsibility whatsoever. We should just forget that had happened. Huh, Sorry,
- 39:48that is not going to occur. And these scientists that
- 39:51were here harboring Epstein's image and enabling his behavior, they
- 39:57all need to be called out on the carpet. Thousands
- 40:02of elite and pedestrian scientists benefited from Epstein's philanthropy and camaraderie.
- 40:08Thousands more are knew of Epstein's courtship rituals with scientists
- 40:12and with children and said absolutely nothing. What happened on
- 40:15the Lolita Express and Pedophile Island. While probably known to
- 40:19many Epstein's elite science pals were known as well at
- 40:23least an outline to the thousands of ordinary scientists and
- 40:26administrators who cashed his checks and worked in his labs.
- 40:31And again what they'll say is, oh, we had no
- 40:33idea they'll distance themselves from all of this and then
- 40:37they'll just go on their merry way like it never happened.
- 40:39But that's not gonna work. There needs to be accountability,
- 40:43right All of these people that were involved in this
- 40:45shit need to be held accountable so it doesn't happen again.
- 40:49What you think Epstein's the only one out there, the
- 40:51only sick fuck running around right now. Unfortunately, we're sharing
- 40:55air with a lot of sick and twisted people, folks,
- 40:58and there's guarantee to be another Epstein out there as
- 41:02we speak. And in your own communities, you don't have
- 41:05to look too far for Mini Epstein's dudes that are
- 41:09doing this to hookers right now on whatever the track
- 41:12is in your city or your neighborhood or whatever. I
- 41:15can leave my house right now and go three four
- 41:18miles and find a whole area with nothing but hookers.
- 41:23Poor people who are you know, stuck doing what they
- 41:28have to do to provide for themselves, whether it be
- 41:30they have a drug habit or whatever. The fact is,
- 41:33they're out on the street. They're in that circumstance. They're
- 41:36in the clutches of human traffickers. Only whispered questions There
- 41:42were whispered questions, undeniably obvious questions. There must have been
- 41:47daily whispers and labs and hallways and coffee rooms. Why
- 41:51is doctors so and so taking trips with this guy?
- 41:54What do you think is happening with all those little girls?
- 41:57Where does the money come from? It's these are all
- 41:59legitimate questions that even you know, basic folk like us
- 42:03would ask. You mean to tell me that all of
- 42:06these scientists and all of these big wigs, big shots,
- 42:09had no idea. They didn't ask these questions. They weren't
- 42:13interested in where this money came from. I guess when
- 42:17the tap is flowing, you don't question it, huh. You
- 42:20just put your hands under it and continue to drink
- 42:22the water. The answers were in broad daylight. Epstein's life
- 42:27was an open Internet page. Thousands of scientists and administrators,
- 42:32even those not directly involved with Epstein and the children
- 42:35eat Trafficked, asked these questions and knew the answers. No
- 42:39one said a word. Why. Well, in my opinion, it's
- 42:43because Epstein was so highly placed in society. And when
- 42:47you're best friends with Billy boy Clinton, eh, you know,
- 42:50it's kind of intimidating. For people to think that they
- 42:53can go against you. You know, you walk into Epstein's
- 42:56office and you see pictures of Clinton Trump, who would Barock,
- 43:01and the list goes on of powerful people. That's intimidating.
- 43:05And he wasn't afraid, Jeffrey Epstein to point out that
- 43:08he could end your career, end your life. So a
- 43:12lot of these scientists were probably a little scared, But
- 43:15that doesn't excuse it. You need to have some backbone
- 43:17in life. Certain things are worth fighting for, certain things
- 43:21are worth losing your career over, in my opinion, and
- 43:24this certainly is that. Right. Look, if dying on the
- 43:27hill of protecting children isn't worth it to you, then
- 43:30you're just a scumbag in my opinion. And I don't
- 43:33even have kids, folks, right, I don't have I have
- 43:36no desire to have children. I'm not a big fan
- 43:38of little kids running around crying, snotty nosed up. But
- 43:42as a society, that's our future. Those kids are going
- 43:46to carry the torch. They're gonna be the ones to
- 43:48make this world a better place, hopefully. And these sick
- 43:51fucking people like Epstein abusing them, molesting them, and these
- 43:54scientists keeping quiet about it. Well, you know, my big
- 43:57fat mouth is going to be moving. We can only
- 44:00do what we can do right to try and enact change.
- 44:03And I can only do my small little part here
- 44:05talking on this podcast to bring some awareness to what's
- 44:11going on. But like I always say, they can avoid
- 44:16one nat right, swat it away. But when there's ten
- 44:19million of us, now it's time for these people to
- 44:21suffocate a pariah for life. Some years ago, at a
- 44:27scientific conference, I had a private chat with a colleague
- 44:30from another university. His research was in a rather obscure
- 44:34topic in biology, but he was a scientist of the
- 44:37first rank. He was a superb investigator and quite senior
- 44:41and widely respected. He told me that he knew that
- 44:44I was involved in intelligent design, and he thanked me
- 44:48for what I was doing. He told me that he
- 44:50was a Christian. He said that a lot of the
- 44:52scientists know that Darwinism is a charad, and he was
- 44:56thankful for scientists who were speaking out, but he couldn't
- 44:59do so, although he desperately wanted to. He said his
- 45:02wife was sick and that if he spoke out he
- 45:04would never get another grant. Hey, look, I don't know
- 45:08one way or the other about any of that. I'm
- 45:09not a scientist, right. The point of this story is
- 45:13Jeffrey Epstein was an absolute scumbag, and the scientific community
- 45:17knew a single public statement endorsing id or critiquing Darwinism
- 45:25in any meaningful way would make him a pariah for
- 45:27the rest of his life. My career would end the
- 45:30day I spoke out. He told me. He said that
- 45:32his wife's life depended on her current medical care, and
- 45:35that he would be unable to afford her care if
- 45:37he lost his position. He said he felt terrible that
- 45:40he couldn't speak out publicly, but he had a responsibility
- 45:43to his family and that they would suffer if his
- 45:46career went into the abyss. That's terrible, man. Look, people
- 45:49should be able to speak their mind, right. I don't
- 45:52understand how things can be so corrosive, so corrupted. It's
- 45:57okay that people have different opinions as long as as
- 46:00long as when you have a conversation about it, you
- 46:02can defend your opinion in a meaningful way. Scientists, especially
- 46:10scientists in academia, are uniquely vulnerable to professional destruction if
- 46:14they stray from the herd. Their life hangs on peer review.
- 46:18Just look at the ostracism, ridicule, and even hate reigned
- 46:21upon by Mike Beehe or Jonathan Wells or Guillarmo Gonzalez
- 46:26or Bill Demski or Richard Sternberg or any of the
- 46:29other courageous scientists who had the integrity to question the
- 46:33Darwinian consensus. I mean, isn't that what science is about,
- 46:37really questioning what the norms are and trying to, you know,
- 46:41challenge those. I mean, I don't think science should just
- 46:45be all right, well, the science is settled, let's move
- 46:47on now. Again. I'm not a scientist, and I'm certainly
- 46:51not somebody who is strong enough in biology, human biology,
- 46:56or whatever, evolutionary biology to offer an opinion one way
- 46:59or the other. I mean, I'm lucky I can tie
- 47:02my shoes in the morning, folks. As the Epstein scandal
- 47:10shows with striking clarity, dissent on matters of importance is
- 47:15forbidden in the scientific community. Scientists will engage in or
- 47:19tolerate all manner of lie and vice to protect their careers.
- 47:23They go along to get along. They join the consensus
- 47:26that Jeffrey Epstein is a wonderful patron and his money
- 47:30is untainted, just as they join the consensus that Darwinian
- 47:33evolution is a fact. Many, perhaps even most, do not
- 47:37do it because they believe it. They do it for
- 47:40professional survival. All right. Well, again, I don't know anything
- 47:43about any of that. I don't know about the infighting
- 47:45and the scientific community about Darwinism or evolution. To me,
- 47:50it looks like evolution is the proper way things came about, right,
- 47:54I mean, it seems logical. But what do I know.
- 47:57I'm agnostic, folks. I don't know shit about they or
- 48:00if there's a god or if we were created by aliens. Again,
- 48:05I have enough problems on my plate here talking about
- 48:08the worldly problems that we can see. I'll leave all
- 48:11of that spiritual stuff up to other people. That is
- 48:14way above my pay grade. The profound revelation from the
- 48:24Epstein scandal is that the scientific community is silent in
- 48:27the face of obvious lies, criminality, and moral atrocities. Scientists
- 48:32at MIT and Harvard and the institutions on whom Epstein
- 48:36reigned Largesse obviously knew enough about Epstein to know that
- 48:40association with him was a moral and his money probably
- 48:44came from child sex trafficking. They could know with a
- 48:47mouse click that Epstein had no college degree and sketchy
- 48:51experience in finance. His primary enterprise seemed to be making
- 48:55little girls available to rich men. But they stuck with
- 48:58the consensus and said nothing. Their scientific careers, of course,
- 49:03came first. And you see this paralleled to other industries, right,
- 49:07especially the media industry. Jeffrey Epstein and his friends, and
- 49:12you know, they have a lot of power. So a
- 49:14lot of these media companies don't want to deal with that.
- 49:17They don't want to tangle with people like Epstein kept
- 49:21in the club. There was a scientific consensus held by
- 49:24thousands of scientists at all levels of the profession that
- 49:28Jeffrey Epstein was a great patron. Any doubts, and there
- 49:32must have been agonizing doubts for twenty years were kept
- 49:35in the club. And this is a big problem. This
- 49:37is my biggest problem. Sometimes you have to be willing
- 49:40to break away from the herd. Sometimes you have to
- 49:43be willing to, you know, go your own way, forge
- 49:45your own path and figure things out for yourself. But
- 49:49when you're part of one of these exclusive scientific CLOBs,
- 49:53your whole life depends on getting on to go along, right,
- 49:58And for me, that's just a moral like it. I'll
- 50:01never be part of the herd mentality, you know, and
- 50:04I won't be put into a box either. I have
- 50:07my own opinions, my own outlook on life that has
- 50:10been shaped by my own life experiences. So when you
- 50:14look at people like these scientists who have no sort
- 50:17of moral compass and are willing to sacrifice basically their souls, well,
- 50:24it's a very very disturbing and disgusting scenario to think
- 50:29that these people are so highly respected in society and
- 50:33on these campuses. There is also a scientific consensus that
- 50:42nothing makes sense except in light of Darwinian evolution, held
- 50:45as it turns out by the man of the same
- 50:48scientists who cashed Epstein's checks. There was and is no dissent. Well,
- 50:54look again, I have no idea about that debate and
- 50:57that argument. People are gonna have to make up their
- 51:02own minds, right, I'm not gonna sit here and tell anybody, oh, well,
- 51:05you shouldn't believe in God or you shouldn't believe in evolution.
- 51:08Believe in whatever you believe in. I mean, really doesn't
- 51:11affect me one way or the other. This is the
- 51:17lesson from the Epstein scandal. Scientists are first and foremost
- 51:21devoted to their own professional survival, and they will tow
- 51:25any line to survive. They will lie, cheat, and steal
- 51:28for professional security. They will even tacitly endorse child rape
- 51:33and child sex trafficking and personally profit from it to
- 51:37avoid the professional abyss. Science is conducted under a code
- 51:41of OMERTA dissent is punished mercilessly as a measure of
- 51:46scientific and moral truth. Scientific consensus is worthless. Like I said,
- 51:52this article was authored by Michael Egner. He's a professor
- 51:57of neurosurgery at UH the State University of New York Stonybrook,
- 52:02the director of Pediatric Neurosurgery. Blah blah blah blah blah
- 52:05blah blah, a guy who's a scientist and obviously somebody
- 52:07who's you know, moved in these circles. The thing about
- 52:12this article and why I wanted to share it, is
- 52:14that Jeffrey Epstein was well well respected in the scientific community.
- 52:19He was somebody who was a patron of a lot
- 52:21of these people, and still a lot of these scientists,
- 52:26a lot of these people that took his money have
- 52:28found a way to fly under the radar. So if
- 52:31they were taking money from Jeffrey Epstein, my question is this,
- 52:36who else are they taking money from? All Right, folks,
- 52:41that's gonna do it for this morning's update. Obviously a
- 52:44lot more is on the way. If you'd like to
