Seems like a disingenuous take. People aren’t upset that Bill Gates and company gave anonymously to MIT. They’re upset that they did it through a guy who sexually trafficked underage girls.
take of the day is that I think it's weird to prefer a world where monstrous people presumably buy more yachts or whatever and absolutely no public research, even anonymously

I'm talking about Epstein's money, not Gates'. It seems extremely sensible to be concerned about the *many* prominent people who had a relationship with Epstein, what they knew and what they may have participated in

You’re right, and that blindness is because most of us are implicated in the petroleum system, unlike the blackmail/trafficking system or whatever JE was up to. But aren’t you doing whataboutism here?

Agreed. The self flagellation and hysteria over Epstein's scientific donations is madness.

A lot of it is empty virtue signalling.

I'm confused, publish research is good, yacht is sort of wasteful hedonism?

The first time Epstein was prosecuted, his connections seem to have bought him near-impunity. His donations were not about his love of knowledge. It was to engineer the scenario we’re living through, where he couldn’t be taken down without half the US elite paying a price.
