Each time I hear someone talk about the Epstein files, I think to myself: 1. How could the world look any different if it was built on theft in money? 2. And who are you transferring your agency to ...

The Files are a brutal mirror, and one of our greatest opportunities to contend with the disease in our own hearts.

Immense bravery is required to gaze into those pages and to ask “how is this me?” And then to sit quietly and burn internally with the answer to that question.

If a bad actor was able to hard fork, what would be the incentives for the rest of us to participate in that new network?
Correct me where I’m wrong, but doesn’t the original iteration of the network continue unchanged?
