I love that this picture exists:
Pinker spent forty years building a reputation with great care, covering over his basic lust for power with academic credentials, only to have it dissolved by a puff of truth.

The unjust man cannot hide his whole life long, but at a certain moment will be unmasked.

Am I the only one who didn’t think Jeffery did anything wrong? I’ve read up on him extensively and it seems like he just pimped out girls who were 16-18, which is the age of consent in most countries, and he paid them for it. I think most people are jumping on this simply because of his connections. It’s not like a jimmy saville where he literally raped 12-15 year olds.

16-18 still counts as "not OK", unless it´s consensual with partner of simmiliar age.

It wouldn’t even be a crime in a lot of European countries, except for the pimping part of course. And frankly I don’t see anything wrong with prostitution or fucking 16 year olds. That said I’m sure he had a lot of shady dealings with powerful people but the severity of his sexual crimes is extremely overblown.

To have humanism we must first be convinced of our humanity. As we move further into decadence this becomes more difficult.

Epstein did nothing wrong! See! Let's bring every argument back to fucking 16 year olds so we don't have to adress the massive leak that is the epstein case, ever. Let's forget about it. Yeah. Forget about epstein, he did nothing wrong!

So what exactly did he do wrong? Other than the sexual scandal nothing has really been uncovered. It’s still a mystery as to how he made his money.

Epstein fucking and pimping young girls is only one part. There's also the bit where nobody knows how he became a billionaire--presumably he did so by blackmailing the elites. One guy just straight-up deeded him a multimillion-dollar house.
