We're back after a long travel hiatus to keep talking on the recent theme of accepting the world as it is - this time focused on Ted Kaczynski's ideas around self-propagating systems and the inevitable race to doomsday created by unrestrained technological advancement. We begin with a rather lengthy discussion of the nothing burger of the first Epstein release and what the purpose might actually have been - and conclude with an uncomfortable truth about the reality of the Epstein blackmail operation.
