    The Philosophy of Jeffrey Epstein // 240

    Jeffrey Epstein is not primarily known as a philosopher, but his emails illustrate that he had higher ambitions than pedophilia. We explore both the latent and manifest content of Jeffrey Epstein's theorizing, as well as who enabled him, and come to realize that he was the victim of a rare psychotic illness.  Join our patreon to get the epsidoes not posted here https://www.patreon.com/plasticpills
