- I always wondered if Stephen Jay Gould knew Epstein before Gould died, seems so! (I'm fascinated by SJG social life because I was on a jury for his estate's medical malpractice lawsuit and Dersh was an expert witness about lost income and there were other personal things we were not allowed to hear)
- interesting (if a bit nauseating) to read back in 2003 many of Epstein's intellectual ornaments openly celebrating being collected by him, in a puff piece in the Crimson www.thecrimson.com/article/2003...
- no offense and RIP etc but SJG seems like exactly the type of big idea this-to-that scholar who also-dead epstein would have really been intoFeb 2, 2026 21:09
