These figures not only talked about visits to Epstein's private island, but also shared news articles, discussed personal events, and had long debates about science and philosophy."
"In a series of July 2016 emails with Joscha Bach, a German philosopher, AI researcher, and cognitive scientist, Epstein brings up climate change in the middle of a discussion about cognition and race. "Maybe climate change is a good way of dealing with overpopulation," Epstein writes. "the earths forest fire. potentially a good thing for the species." Linking the conversation back to the earlier topic of how brains function, Epstein adds:"
DOJ documents show Jeffrey Epstein maintained close ties with politicians, academics, business leaders, and other prominent figures. Those contacts exchanged visits, news articles, personal updates, and sustained debates about science and philosophy. Epstein promoted climate denialism and ecofascist ideas within those conversations, framing climate change as a potential solution to overpopulation. In July 2016 emails with Joscha Bach, Epstein described climate change as "the earths forest fire" and suggested it might be "a good way of dealing with overpopulation." He analogized societal disposal to the brain discarding unused neurons. Bach said he had not known about Epstein's later arrest.
