Jeffrey Epstein, Surrounded by Scientific Luminaries, Hoped to Seed Human Race With His DNA
Mr. Epstein, the accused sex trafficker, was fascinated by eugenics. He told scientists and others of his vision of using his New Mexico ranch to impregnate women.

Exclusive: Jeffrey Epstein once spoke to scientists and others of a plan to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating scores of women at his New Mexico ranch
NEW: Jeffrey Epstein told scientists that he wanted to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women (20 at a time) at his vast New Mexico ranch.
He also said he wanted his penis frozen.

Half the fun in this story are the quotes from the academics trying their very best to portray themselves as appalled by and bravely resistant to Epstein at these meetings that he organized and which for some reason they kept attending.

One of the more bizarre tidbits in this NYT story: that Epstein wanted his head and his penis frozen.
This has everything: Eugenics, Nobel prize winners, a frozen penis, a baby ranch, Alan Dershowitz. If you can finish it w/out dashing to shower you deserve a free bowl of soup. But you won't wanna eat it. By @JamesStewartNYT @MattGoldstein26 @jbsgreenberg
Imagine how creepy you need to be for this to not be the creepiest thing youāre known for
"Some of the scientists said that the prospect of financing blinded them to the seriousness of his sexual transgressions, and even led them to give credence to some of Mr. Epsteinās half-baked scientific musings."
Why does it seem like nobody is talking about Steven Pinker's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein? In this disturbing article, Pinker distances himself from Epstein, but there are pics of them socializing together in 2014. (1/4)
"Mr. Epstein told scientists and businessmen about his ambitions to use his New Mexico ranch as a base where women would be inseminated with his sperm and would give birth to his babies."
Jeffrey Epstein, the wealthy financier who is accused of sex trafficking, had hoped to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women at his vast New Mexico ranch.

Jeffrey Epstein Hoped to Seed Human Race With His DNA
Jeffrey E. Epstein, the wealthy financier and accused sex trafficker, had an unusual dream: He hoped to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women at his vast New Mexico ranch.
The process by which billionaires become insufferable in a nutshell:
"Some of the scientists said that [Epstein's financing] led them to give credence to some of Mr. Epsteinās half-baked scientific musings."
Thereās no way this headline isnāt a sensationalist distortion of the actual reporting.

Iāll say again: abolish billionaires.
There are few better arguments than in this story: man with money and half-baked perverse ideas about sex and science manages to seduce a bunch of the smartest scientists in the world because heās got $$$.
If @AlanDersh has limits, it's discussing eugenics with a fellow child-rapist* who planned to start a Master Race Insemination Ranch prior to freezing his head and penis for posterity.

Jeffrey Epstein's Weird Science. This story has a baby ranch, eugenics, transhumanism and a frozen penis and it's by @JamesStewartNYT @jbsgreenberg and me and editing inspiration from @davidenrich
Imagine worrying about overpopulation while scheming to become a transhumanist Genghis Khan

One adherent of transhumanism said that he and Mr. Epstein discussed the financierās interest in cryogenics... Mr. Epstein told this person that he wanted his head and penis to be frozen.
Jeffrey Epstein thought his sperm was superior, according to the @nytimes. Reminds me of the old racist William Shockley who tried to set up a Nobel Prize Sperm Bank with his own generous donations.
POP QUIZ: what does every single scientist in this article have in common? Every. Single. One.
The direct engagement of billionaires with academics is a path to the corruption of the academics.
Epstein Hoped to Seed Human Race With His DNA. He wanted to use his ranch as a base where women would be āinseminated and give birth to his babies.ā
"Epstein told scientists and businessmen about his ambitions to use his New Mexico ranch as a base where women would be inseminated with his sperm and would give birth to his babies."
I realize this is the least salacious detail, but it is a remarkable example of how market fundamentalism is basically a religion with a self-fulfilling Armageddon.
āMr. Epstein had once hypothesized that atoms behaved like investors in a marketplace.ā

[Epstein] insinuate[d] himself into an elite scientific community, thus allowing him to pursue his interests in #eugenics and other fringe fields like cryonics
It just keeps getting stranger. Jeffrey Epstein promoted transhumanism, a modern-day version of eugenics, the discredited field of improving the human race through controlled breeding. Only, he was the going to do the breeding.
"The lure for some of the scientists was Mr. Epsteinās money. He dangled financing for their pet projects. Some of the scientists said that the prospect of financing blinded them to the seriousness of his sexual transgressions."
Given his hobbies, sort of hard to believe that Epstein wanted women to "be inseminated" with his sperm when he could do it himself.
Jeffrey Epstein Hoped to Seed Human Race With His DNA
Epstein's disgusting narcissism may give people a window into how creepy this whole world of transhumanism/ genetic improvement/ cryogenics/ immortality really is. After climate chaos, it's the thing that scares me most about the future
"Philanthropist" who donated $6.5M to Harvard University and lunched Nobel laureates is a convicted paedophile, child trafficker and eugenics fantasist.

You know who isn't mentioned meeting with Epstein and taking money from him? Women scientists.
Does it ever strike you how many of those in/with access to people in high places are completely batshit crazy?

This article makes me angry on a lot of levels, and Iām having a difficult time channeling that anger productively. For now let me enter it as anecdotal evidence for why āprivate donors will pick up the slack in public research fundingā is a bad argument.
"Mr. Epstein told this person that he wanted his head and penis to be frozen."
Jeffrey Epstein Hoped to Seed Human Race With His DNA nyti.ms/2Ki92W9 - this story is just eewww on so many levels š¤®
"Epstein was willing to finance research that others viewed as bizarre. He told one scientist that he was bankrolling efforts to identify a mysterious particle that might trigger the feeling that someone is watching you."
It's not fair to transhumanists to do this is what's wrong with transhumanism but it does illustrate some dangers with that belief set.
I don't think you get to call it a "salon" if you invite an accused sex trafficker who talks about his plans to impregnate women on his ranch
Epstein is a transhumanist that hoped to seed the human race with his DNA š¤® nytimes.com/2019/07/31/busā¦ Can we be done with 2019 now?
"Mr. Lanier said he talked to a scientist who told him that Mr. Epsteinās goal was to have 20 women at a time impregnated at his 33,000-square-foot Zorro Ranch in a tiny town outside Santa Fe." David Plotz, call yr office!
Brockman's role as a key broker in all of this nonsense is an under-exploited angle, btw.
