The same traits that help your tribe/organism survive the first hundred million years of small scale interactions are not helpful during geopolitical negotiations.
The emails released last week revealed a close relationship between Epstein and Summers. In an March 2019 exchange, they corresponded about a woman Summers was interested in.
I know that it's not the point of this article, and it's fine, but that is such a gentle way to put the conversation he had.
While already being married, he and at the time known sex criminal Epstein had a conversation where he strategized how to leverage the mentoring relationship another professional wanted with him into sex with her, all the while both used a racist nickname for her.
He shouldn't still be teaching. He can't be trusted with power over anyone.
Hey, you know what though, good on him for recognizing it was a big mistake and ceasing all contact with him since July 23, 2019. (/s in case people don't know that's the day Epstein was murdered)

Unfortunately, I fear you just described a HUGE chunk of humanity. If we don't figure that out, it'll likely be the great filter that culls us.

TrueAnon podcast goes pretty in depth on this particular cringe-fest.
