I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

The entire American experiment is based primarily on the mindless pursuit of wealth resulting in a culture of artifice where unremarkable people who were born or lucked into extreme privilege are treated like kings by armies of sycophants all rushing to the same trough?
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

i'm one of those people who believes more of our billionaire elite are creepy paedophiles than are not creepy paedophiles.
