How the men in the Epstein files defeated #MeToo

At first glance this is paper's primary function is to boost outdated research by scientific racists.
We got it all; Jensen's general G, Geoffrey Miller's evo psych's modularity, and "spiteful mutant" weirdos Sarraf, Menie and antisemite Fuerst.

Leugens op de website van het humanistisch verbond.

Want dat is oké als je anti-woke bent. Dan is fact-checken niet meer nodig.

Notably the tactic of so many pseudo-scientific groups in Aus, which Krauss saw himself as railing against.

Aus defamation laws continue to be extremely broken
In the DOJ's Epstein documents, Lawrence Krauss, facing a complaint of sexual misconduct, noted Australia's plaintiff friendly defamation laws: "We may need to initiate a lawsuit (and against Gizmodo in Australia, where basically anyone can sue and win)"

I want to reiterate that you only need to listen to exactly one minute of this podcast before these people are literally making jokes about pedophilia and laughing about how people in the Files are being castigated.

One minute.
This level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.

I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.
Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships.

We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies.

It was always inevitable that the loudest and best-funded (by people in Epstein's emails) anti-trans freaks who spent years trying to brand trans people as sexual predators, would instantly start defending Epstein.

It's not hypocrisy, it's them reinforcing their hierarchy.

As I have said many times: Nick Land's The Dark Enlightenment isn't some ur-text of the dark and sinister limits of anti-humanist thought; it's a guy who's always on the computer complaining about Slate articles and how everyone laughs at race science.
Update on Bari Weiss University

If I worked for any reputable organisation, I'd flag the use of '88' in any messaging, since it's an infamous neo-Nazi bullhorn, especially if your first reading list for 'Origins of 21st Century Right-Wing Thought' (w/ selections from Nick Land and Curtis Yarvin?)

Elon Musk and others LOSE their bid to duck depositions in DOGE litigation.

Judge doubts protections for "high-ranking government officials" for multiple reasons. It's unclear they ever had that status, and Musk "left government service."
