I don't wish to give any credence to the "Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which I believe has been quite successfully discredited. I looked at it fairly closely when it was popular, and it was very clear that it involved outlandishly detailed conclusions from a very sparse amount of extremely spurious evidence.

But what I found strange in Pinker's conversation with Joe was that he seemed to bring up the conspiracy theory as an example of one of the most ludicrous of the current period. I have never really understood this line of thinking. It occurs to me there are far more bizarre conspiracy theories out there than Pizzagate.

Pinker appears to think that the idea of a child sex trafficking organisation using such a seemingly innocuous business as a pizza shop as a front is the height of absurdity. Yet of course many criminal organisations do use fronts, and the whole point of a front is that it seems innocuous.

Child sex trafficking organisations do also exist, and as we have learnt from the Epstein and Dutroux cases, they may involve members of the very highest tiers of the worlds of celebrity and politics.

Of course, these realities only make Pizzagate possible in the same way that the existence of the crime of murder makes it possible that my neighbour is a murderer, with any accusations of him actually being one remaining completely baseless until evidence is produced. But equally, of all the totally bonkers theories out there, it is surely one that is comparatively rather grounded, if only for the fact that it consists entirely of elements that are known to exist.

When you take into account the Jimmy Savile case in the UK, the Dutroux affair in Belgium, and the Epstein scandal in the US (which had already been brewing for a long time before Pizzagate blew up), it doesn't seem particularly surprising that some people would become a little monomaniacal and begin seeing cases of elite paedophilia where it wasn't. In light of such a context, Pizzagate seems neither extraordinary or inexplicably strange, but a fairly predictable consequence of a moment of cultural shock where people have had to recalibrate their perspective of the world to accommodate the existence of elite paedophile rings. It is not surprising that some people have not quite focused their new lenses correctly, and have made misapprehensions as a result.

Why, then, does Pinker seem to find Pizzagate so ludicrous that he can't even bring himself to believe that people ever sincerely believed it? Given the fact he met Epstein, I would expect him to have been disturbed by the Epstein scandal even more than most, and so surely must have thought deeply about it and its consequences. Given that conspiracy theories revolving around Epstein had existed for a long time before the scandal hit the mainstream news, you would also expect him to show a little more humility and sympathy when discussing as-yet unproven conspiracy theories in general, especially of that ilk.

>Given the fact he met Epstein
This is the point where you should realize why he wants to refute Pizzagate so strongly and wants you to believe it is an outlandish conspiracy theory. If Epstein felt the need to come in contact with him, chances are that Pinker himself abused underage girls. There is no hard evidence, but I don't see many reasons why a pedophile financier like Epstein would feel the need to come in contact with some linguist.

And even if that were not the case, Pinker just isn't very rational, period. Around 2006 he tried to push that theory that Ashkenazim (like himself) are genetically superior to goyim. That incident has been labeled "scientific racism with a human face" since even though it amounted to scientific racism (claiming the superiority of one race over another on a genetic basis) it was "human" since it glorified Jews rather than evil Caucasian people. Though of course that created a precedent that was exploited by many who tried to revive Charles Murray's Bell Curve arguments: if some races are superior to white people (Ashkenazim), it follows logically that other races could be inferior (black people, for instance). This made it at least plausible that the differences between blacks and whites observed by Murray may not be explained away by purely socio-economic reasons, and thus Pinker (a Jew) unwittingly gave ammo to his sworn enemies, the so-called white supremacists. That episode really made it clear to me that Pinker is so narcissistically in love with his own race that he couldn't even foresee the consequences of his scientific racism with a "human" face. He is not rational and he should not pontificate about rationality.

Very clearly-written post, OP. My non-conspiracy explanation is the Pinker is so insulated from the day-to-day operations of criminal enterprises that the thing (superficially, at least) seems to complex and well-organized to be plausible. My conspiracy explanation is that he's employing subtle psychological tricks to embed suspect premises in his assertions so that the premises ("Pizzagate is an absurd and ridiculous theory") slowly become normal through repetition and a form of begging the question.
He's doing this because he wants people's first thought when someone mentions Pizzagate to be "that's ridiculous." This means he can refuse to mention his involvement in it because "it's ridiculous."

Pinker is Whiggish. But I think Whiggishness is an inherently conservative notion resting in the idea that we "live in the best of all possible worlds" and it'll continue evolving to become better in this teleological way. If that's true, then we don't really have to do anything drastic -- radicalism would potentially upset all the progress that has led us here. Whiggishness seems progressive on the surface, but it's not really forward-looking as much as an interpretation of the past to justify the present state of things, like the Middle Ages being backwards compared to today and so forth.

But with Epstein and Maxwell, the idea that rich, connected people at the top of the society and with the most Reddit gold could also be serial sexual predators calls into question many things about how the society is structured.

Q-Anon pizzagate stuff otoh seems like secularized Evangelical Christian apocalypticism. The underground tunnels where children are being trafficked is like a kind of "hell." I was reading some really schizo Q stuff and it was remarkable because one guy was saying that someone else opened up this veritable portal-to-hell and the trafficked children in there who had been brainwashed into slavery tried pulling him down in there, so it's better to keep the door closed to prevent the evil from escaping into the world. It's a frightening vision but it's like Dante's Inferno.

I don't like Nietzsche very much but he said something once that to understand reality, you have to part with seeing "reason in reality." I wouldn't recommend the path that some of his extremely irrational followers took, but I think about that sometimes. Or like the vaxx issue. People resist it with the language of the dominant ideology of society, because "it's my right" and "I don't want the government telling me what to do." This is totally irrational to me because... there's a plague. But we have this terrible situation where state officials cannot enact measures that would save the society from the plague because that would violate an ideology which originally emerged from the effects of a plague on a feudal, rural society hundreds of years ago... which gave birth to the western mandate of "rational" individuals making the best decisions.

This is disingenuous as fuck. You either didn't actually look into it at all, or are full of shit concern trolling.

Pizzagate was not the idea that child sex trafficking exists, everyone acknowledges that. It was a statement that almost the entirety of the top of the Democratic Party were pedophiles who murdered children in Satanic rituals. Hillary Clinton was supposed to have a video of her killing a baby.

Pizzagate didn't come from Epstein, it came from the leaked DNC emails and spergs claiming innocuous phrases like soul cooking were actually about raping, murdering, and sometimes eating children. This wasn't being done by some shadowy billionaire, but by extremely public figures. It just so happened to fit right down partisan lines, with all of one party being rapist pedos. So Clinton killed a baby, but Joe Biden is a pedo too. It's an open secret somehow never exposed.

Now let's look at Epstein. Pizzafags would later claim his island was used for mass child rape parties and rituals. Nothing in the case, which is public, says this. His victims were pubescent girls on the young end, and most commonly under aged girls towards the end of puberty. Is it fucked up? Yes. And abortion of justice, sure. But not satanic pedo ritual. The girls were teens lured into and pressured for prostitution after grooming. Shit like this happens all the time (see Asian rape gangs) but in this case it was a billionaire pitching girls to celebrities, which made him immune to justice for awhile and makes it more scandalous.

But it took on completely partisan overtones. You know who the most famous person who partied with Epstein was? Donald J. Trump. He was a codefendant in a sexual abuse of a minor case in New York state that was quitely dropped. Three Epstein victims testified to being sold to Trump for sex as young teens. A former Trump employee said Trump hosted a private party with Epstein where they were the only men and Epstein had "models" come (could have been of age too.). Dude was called out for barging into Miss USA changing rooms all the time. Absolute crickets, because the sperg lords only care about generating meaning for their lives by pretending politics are some great crusade against Satan.

This is a fairly nebulous argument, and there are parts where you touch on the truth and others where you're distant from it, but I only feel compelled to comment on a point that I think is most relevant: your apparent view that Pizzagate is on the same level of absurdity as the Q-anon theory.

Do you truly believe this? Q-anon revolved around the idea that the president of the United States was using a Neo-Nazi basket-weaving forum to deliver coded messages to his followers about the existence of an elite circle of extra-dimensional vampires. It was based around a number of elements that are either not known to be possible or have no precedent.

But the all the elements of Pizzagate are possible, and have substantial and numerous precedents. This seems to me a fairly important distinction, and yet again I'm left feeling rather nonplussed by the idea it that it supposedly so absurd.

Although Podesta was linked with it from the beginning, I don't remember it being claimed that Biden and Clinton raped and ate children themselves.

Which apparently never sparked the question: "how are they abducting thousands of children secretly considering a single lost child blows up local media?"

Then came Comet Pizza, which supposedly had kill rooms underneath it for Democrats to go to for regular murder orgies.

After that the number of conspiracies keep bifurcating. A lot of Bush people critical of Trump got named as confirmed pedos by "sources" too. Cheney was a pedo Satanist for one.

You can go to any Q site and still see this shit. Greatawakening.win is a good one, they still think Trump is getting reinstated or already actually president.

Or go ask /pol/, they know for sure Biden alone as raped hundreds, if not thousands of kids. I saw a thread with a guy claiming to be an insider saying that inauguration night was basically a 3,000 person rave of elites going all out with child murder. People eat this shit up. Feels hackneyed to me.

That's the thing. Some conspiracy theories contain a grain of truth. They are just unfocused and sloppy because of a complete absence of scholarship, evidence-based thinking, and common sense. There are several documented cases of pedophilic abuse of children by elites . Except they aren't doing it in the basement of a pizza parlor because that's fucking stupid. And they aren't broadcasting all these dogwhistles and symbolisms to show off that they are doing t That's so insane only someone delirious could believe it. And that's what happen, intellectually inept disturbed individuals without critical thinking skills and mental instabilities latch onto conspiracy theories as an outlet for their vague fears and distrusts of the elites. A distrust that is valid and warranted, mind you. The are not wrong to distrust the elites. They simply lack the skills to determine what is true and so they conjure up fantasies loosely drawn around it.

But Q-anon stuff gets crazy with the extra-dimensional vampires, but the believers also think that political leaders are corrupt and craven in all sorts of ways, which is hard to argue with. I don't think that's what Steven Pinker believes, though. Like I said, as a Whig, he thinks we're living in the best of all possible worlds and the elites are basically good as a result.

>Why, then, does Pinker seem to find Pizzagate so ludicrous that he can't even bring himself to believe that people ever sincerely believed it?
Le rational science man was interviewed on a broadcast regularly listened to by millions of people hosted by someone that, despite being openly center-left politically, has turned into somewhat of a cult figure amongst the modern right. Le rational science man is left with a choice, take every opportunity to signal the socially correct things as possible and reinforce his position as a I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE type of redditor pseudo celebrity regardless of how little he knows about the matter, or acknowledge the slightest bit of ambiguity on what may or may not be the truth and let hundreds of thousands of hypercritical nitpickers take the opportunity to burn him at the stake on the internet.

The question of "why does a guy who's trying to sell something to a certain demographic not publicly do things that demographic is well known for attacking people over?" is very simple when you're willing to swap 'integrity' out for social and financial consequences. The kind of people who would buy a book called "Rationality" with a bright rainbow cover are the kind of people that take even the slightest acknowledgement that bad things happen and responsibility for them can't be safely delegated to the institutional powers that be as a sign that you are a dangerous radical worth dismissing at best or hunting down at worst.

I think it's also plausible that schizo stuff can be either introduced directly or fostered / boosted indirectly as a way of creating "noise."

I use this as an example of how corporate media does it. Not boosting Greenwald in particular and one can swap out Chris Cillizza of CNN for another hack, but a lot of people end up encountering Greenwald through the noise that Cillizza is creating before the message is received. Greenwald might be saying something that's true, but the noise makes people doubt it. And what is reported in the mainstream media is often conspiracist in character at that: see "Russiagate" for a popular schizo conspiracy theory promoted by corporate-owned media outlets and believed in by a lot of "rational" people.

I think this revolving door of intelligence agencies and media organizations like to "play the angles" and it's also compartmentalized, so you'll get someone working for CNN who believes Pizzagate is obviously wrong yet also thinks the Russians are responsible for it even when it's partly a creation or at least encouraged by U.S. intelligence agencies. I don't know for a fact that this is happening, but I could believe that it's happening.

You didn't properly read the infograph. Chevy Chase is 80% CIA, according to Nora Maccoby who grew up there. This means that every second person you see in the neighborhood is a CIA spook. It's not a coincidence that there's a CIA agent working in the orphanage, which gave children to convicted child trafficker Laura Silsby.

This case was discussed in the Clinton emails. Now why is the orphanage director defending Alefantis in both court and the neighborhood meeting?

Russia gate had a lot of irresponsible reporting and talk show pontification of what might be the case, but at least there was some substance. Pizzagate was formed from a fake story about Hillary being arrested on rape charges that didn't actually happen but people just ran with it.

I mean, Trump's campaign was contacted by a known Russian intelligence agent about "dirt of Hillary." His son and campaign manager DID meet the agent (they said nothing happened there). A few weeks later, someone began releasing DNC emails compromising to Hillary's campaign. This hack was then tied back to Russia intelligence because they forgot to turn their VPNs on while in the Macedonia.

Of course, you might have heard the DNC hack was an inside job, right? Except all evidence of this was actually produced by a guy in the UK who was caught having set up multiple fake identities to push the story. He got an old, disabled intelligence officer who had a good reputation for calling out the Iraq intel as bogus to pitch it for him.

The problem is that all the good reporting on Russia's involvement in the DNC hack, and just how airtight it was (Dutch intelligence didn't just catch the hack, but had hacked a camera near the building where the hack occurred in Russia and had video of the people who did it). The VIPS story is particularly interesting:


https://www.computerweekly.com/news/252445769/Briton-ran-pro-Kremlin-disinformation-campaign-that-helped-Trump-deny-Russian-links

Worth a read because this guy was caught step by step in the disinfo game.

But of course, all you heard was retarded supposition on talk shows and shit about Trump Tower Moscow.

There is a pretty straightforward interpretation.

>Moscow wanted Trump to win because they saw him as more favorable. Election interventions aren't new, the USSR tried it every cycle.
>They do the hack, because internal communications are sure to have some good stuff like Hillary getting debate questions early, shit talking voters, etc.

>They contact Trump for a meeting. Regardless of whether they offer collusion (my guess is that they did NOT, because that's a huge fucking risk), just his team taking the meeting will end up looking really bad and cause chaos if they get caught.

>Trump team takes the meeting. It helps that his campaign manager is doing felony level money laundering for work with Russia in Ukraine because it makes the thing look more suspicious.

>Russia gets caught, no biggie. Meanwhile, it causes major chaos in the US as they have successfully planted circumstantial evidence of collusion.

But if you only watch propaganda from either side you think it was mostly about piss tapes, or that there was no evidence whatsoever.

Not disclosing the Russia meeting to the FBI until they found out about it was also hyper retarded, but it is Don Jr. so incompetence seems as likely as actual nefarious intent.

Pinker wants to discredit it so that lay people are split on what could be real about elite pedophilia conspiracy.

The point is that you are not to look for the evidence in the first place. That is the arch crime conspiracy theorists make.

And who is afraid that people are looking for evidence of crimes? Why criminals of course.

So how does this relate to Steven Pinker?

>In 2007, Pinker gave his expert interpretation as a linguist of the wording of a federal law pertaining to the enticement of minors into illegal sex acts via the internet. This opinion was provided to Alan Dershowitz, a personal friend of Pinker's, who was the defense attorney for Jeffrey Epstein, resulting in a plea deal in which all federal sex trafficking charges against Epstein were dropped.[41] In 2019, Pinker stated that he was unaware of the nature of the charges against Epstein, and that he engaged in an unpaid favor for his Harvard colleague Alan Dershowitz, as he had regularly done. He stated that he regrets writing the letter.[41] Pinker says he never received money from Epstein and met with him three times over more than a dozen years,[42] and said he could never stand Epstein and tried to keep his distance.[41]
