Epstein’s pattern of inveigling himself into power networks is strikingly familiar. I’ve met too many such operators both close-up and from a distance. Most are merely after money, but now I can’t help doing an unconscious double-take, looking for signs of darker currents.

Working networks with that level of desperation suggests a drive at work far stronger than ordinary greed for money or power. Which isn’t to say the drive has to be dark, but it has to run deeper than mere ambition.

Networking in general is a tedious chore which is why most of us do the minimum we can get away with. To want to do a lot of it is like wanting to do a lot of laundry. Something weird there which doesn’t add up.

Yep, the Epstein conspiracy has really thrown a Bayes' wrench into our priors. Re-tracing past conclusions, revising history, etc.
