HOW MUCH WE KNOW IS OFTEN DEPENDENT ON HOW MUCH "THEY" WANT US TO KNOW... "THEY" ARE THE CONTROLLER OF THE "GAME"... THE DEMOCRACY IDEAL IS THUS RIGGED BY WHAT THEY TELL US TO THINK. 

NOT SO STRANGELY, THE EPSTEIN'S CLIENT LIST FILE COULD BE LINKED TO Jeffery Epstein’s funding established Harvard’s Program of Evolutionary Dynamics. 

"Evolutionary dynamics" is the study of the fundamental mathematical principles that guide evolution. The Program for Evolutionary Dynamics (PED) at Harvard University was established in 2003 and is dedicated to research and teaching. 

Martin Nowak, Professor of Mathematics and of Biology at Harvard University, is the director of this program. May Huang is the Chief Administrative Officer.

Our current research topics include: evolution of cooperation, cancer, viruses, evolutionary game/graph/set theory, prelife, protocells, eusociality, evolution of construction, population structure, evolution of language, experimental games, and evolutionary economics.

Our ambitious goals include curing the world of cancer, infectious disease, selfishness, and inclusive fitness theory. Our work is about understanding the past, managing the present, and helping to build the future.

=====================

"To arrive at the edge of the world's knowledge, seek out the most complex and sophisticated minds, put them in a room together, and have them ask each other the questions they are asking themselves."

At the heart of this nexus was the Edge Foundation, which served as Epstein’s primary gateway to the intellectual elite. Founded in 1988 by John Brockman, Edge.org functioned as a highbrow salon, hosting annual questions, conferences, and exclusive events like the “Billionaires’ Dinner.” These gatherings connected scientists, philosophers, and entrepreneurs, fostering discussions on “the third culture“—where systems thinkers and technologists supplanted traditional humanities as cultural authorities. From 2001 to 2015, Epstein’s foundations donated at least $638,000 to Edge, often as its sole or largest contributor, according to IRS filings and Brockman’s own admissions post-scandal. This wasn’t passive philanthropy; Epstein attended events, sponsored dinners, and used the platform to build relationships with luminaries like Stephen Hawking, Marvin Minsky (AI pioneer), and Murray Gell-Mann (SFI co-founder), whom he visited monthly in New Mexico to discuss particle physics.

Edge’s “last question” series in 2018, where the Weinsteins posed their queries, exemplifies how it incubated transhumanist ideas. Eric’s question about “source code” evoked decoding human cognition and biology as software, unlocking enhancements like longevity or post-biological existence. As Weinstein elaborated in discussion with Lex Fridman, “and another case we are the simulated and if you buy those and you put them together we are the AGI and whether or not we have simulators we may be trying to wake up by learning our own source code so this could be our Skynet moment…” This framing not only blends simulation theory with AGI self-awareness but also underscores the existential stakes—humanity potentially triggering its own obsolescence through self-decoding. Bret’s on a “game-theoretically stable” non-evolutionary path aligned with redesigning society beyond zero-sum Darwinian traps—core to Game-B’s diagnosis of Game-A failures. These themes weren’t new to Edge; annual questions often revolved around AI convergence, the “global brain,” and human upgrades, platforming figures like Ray Kurzweil (singularity advocate) and Nick Bostrom (existential risks philosopher). Epstein’s funding enabled this discourse, which echoed his own obsessions: He reportedly dreamed of “seeding” humanity with his DNA by impregnating women at his Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, inspired by eugenic sperm banks like the Repository for Germinal Choice.

Beyond Edge, Epstein’s largesse extended to major academic institutions, creating scandals that continue to reverberate in 2025. Harvard University received the lion’s share: at least $8.9 million between 1998 and 2007, per a 2019 internal review reaffirmed in a July 2025 Crimson article on lingering Epstein ties. The centerpiece was a $6.5 million gift in 2003 to establish the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics (PED) under Martin Nowak, focusing on mathematical models of evolution—directly relevant to Game-B’s evolutionary critiques. Even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor, he visited PED offices over 40 times between 2010 and 2018, including as late as October 2018. Harvard’s psychology department appointed him a visiting fellow post-conviction, despite his lack of credentials, following a $200,000 donation.

In July 2025, amid renewed White House scrutiny over Epstein-linked scandals, Harvard affiliates were revealed to have sent birthday letters to Epstein as recently as 2018, per declassified documents cited in a Crimson report. This ties into broader political fallout, with President Trump defending Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of Epstein files in a July 15, 2025, NBC interview. The university’s reluctance to fully sever ties highlights how financial incentives (or perhaps other motives) overrode ethical concerns, allowing Epstein to shape research priorities in evolutionary biology and genetics—fields echoing Game-B’s “conscious design” ethos.

MIT’s involvement was equally fraught, leading to one of academia’s biggest post-Epstein reckonings. Between 2002 and 2017, Epstein donated $850,000—$750,000 after his conviction—with $525,000 going to the Media Lab under director Joi Ito. Internal emails, exposed in a 2019 New Yorker investigation and referenced in 2025 updates on anonymous donations, showed lab officials marking Epstein’s gifts as anonymous despite knowing his identity and criminal history. Epstein also acted as an intermediary, facilitating millions from donors like Bill Gates and Leon Black, though Gates’ representatives dispute direct involvement. Professor Seth Lloyd, a quantum computing expert, received $225,000, including a $60,000 personal gift, and concealed Epstein’s role in 2012 and 2017 donations, violating MIT policies. Lloyd’s work on information as the universe’s substrate aligned with transhumanist goals of merging mind and machine.

A January 2020 MIT fact-finding report confirmed these engagements, leading to Ito’s resignation and policy reforms on donations. Brown University reportedly suspended an official amid Epstein gift probes.

Epstein’s transhumanist connections ran deepest through individuals like George Church and Ben Goertzel. Church, a Harvard geneticist pioneering CRISPR and synthetic biology, received funding from Epstein between 2005-2007 for “cutting-edge science and education.” His research—making humans virus-immune, eliminating diseases, reversing aging—mirrored Epstein’s eugenic visions. Church met Epstein “several times” annually post-conviction, including a 2014 dinner with Ito and Reid Hoffman, later apologizing in 2019 for “nerd tunnel vision.” No major 2025 updates on Church-Epstein ties emerged, but his genetic dating app (to screen for diseases) continues to draw eugenics comparisons, claiming that the app could help “eradicate all genetic diseases” if all people planned their breeding based on genetic sequencing, aligned with Epstein’s interests in using technology to control human reproduction.

Goertzel, vice chairman of Humanity Plus (formerly World Transhumanist Association), received his salary funded by Epstein’s $100,000 donation in 2011, plus another $100,000 to the organization in 2018 via Gratitude America Ltd. Goertzel, AGI researcher and OpenCog founder, denied direct funding for projects like Sophia the robot, but a July 2025 Grok tweet highlighted the connection, noting Epstein’s transhumanist advocacy. Humanity Plus received $220,000+ total, supporting visions of mind-machine merger. Goertzel’s work, however, extends beyond Epstein’s shadow, as he champions “AI for Good” through SingularityNET, a decentralized AI platform fostering projects like DigiTruck, a solar-powered classroom for rural Ethiopia, and Rejuve Biotech for longevity research. In a 2020 Forbes interview, he stated, “Any other problem humanity faces—including extremely hard ones like curing death or mental illness, creating nanotechnology or femtotechnology assemblers, saving the Earth’s environment or traveling to the stars—can be solved effectively via first creating a benevolent AGI and then asking the AGI to solve that problem.” His leadership in OpenCog and the AGI Society and ties to the UN and WEF, emphasizes “ethical” AGI to address global challenges like climate change, though his Epstein ties raise questions about the motives behind such visions. Goertzel contributed to the UN’s AI for Good Global Summit, where he discussed decentralized AGI (artificial general intelligence) and its potential societal benefits. In 2017, Sophia became the first robot to receive a UN title, appointed as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Innovation Champion for Asia and the Pacific, promoting sustainable development goals (SDGs). In July 2023, Goertzel appeared alongside Sophia and other AI-enabled robots at a UN press conference in Geneva, where they addressed AI governance and the potential for robots to run the world more effectively than humans, organized by the ITU. Epstein’s own ventures amplified these aims: Southern Trust, his 2012 DNA data-mining firm, generated $200M+ by 2017, organizing algorithms for genetic predispositions. His $40M investment in Thiel’s Valar Ventures, revealed in June 2025 to be worth $170M (per NYT and Economic Times reports), links him to Thiel’s transhumanist empire—funding SENS (anti-aging), Singularity Institute (AGI), and Alcor (cryonics). This $170M stake, the estate’s largest asset, may evade victims’ claims.
