Outstanding piece, which apart from those using these files to understand the ways in which power, connections, and money really operate, is perhaps the best I’ve seen in exploring the morality of Epstein’s world.

I do not know Joshua Bach but I have often watched him, and his mind seems wired to operate in the meta and meta meta highly abstract realm, which does not incorporate the foundational axioms of thought and behavior that most of us build into our realities as an approach to finding our way in the world.

I therefore do not judge Bach as harshly as many do, as an “enabler” of Epstein’s sociopathy. Bach was never the morality police and his “crime” appears to have been 1/ acceptance of relatively meager amount of financial support from a known sociopath and 2/ failing to find his benefactor’s sociopathy so objectionable that he should have abandoned him to the detriment of his ambition.

Bach is still a young man and is no threat to humanity. One hopes that at some point he will turn his unique and amazing mind to the questions of morality, ethics and humanity. Perhaps in doing so he will discover God.
