“Epstein’s passion for injecting eugenics into conversation after conversation in his emails should shape the way we think about his role in funding scientific research and development—and steering richer men’s money in that world”

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 14h

Evil men like Epstein are, in the simplest form, obsessed with eugenics because they believe that their ill-gotten gains are the product of some innate superiority.

Epstein couldn't stop emailing people about eugenics

In the latest files, the trafficker gives it a Silicon Valley–pilled name: "genetic altruism."

That’s the real question, especially as they like to mobilise victimhood rather than answer serious questions. I would simply like to know if they considered Pinker’s track record with Epstein when they platformed and promoted him.
