Full podcast episode: ua-cam.com/video/ZFntEFXKDHM/v-deo.html Lex Fridman podcast channel: ua-cam.com/users/lexfridman Guest bio: Kate Darling is a researcher at MIT Media Lab interested in human robot interaction and robot ethics.
Ito accepted some $525,000 from Epstein (possibly $1.2 million) as donations to the MIT Media lab. Ito did not have sex with underage girls. He took donation money for the school from a convicted sex offender. And for that he was fired/resigned/whatever, from MIT and a bunch of boards. (edited to verify the post stays) The question you have to ask yourself is this, if Ito didn't personally enrich himself from Epstein (it does not appear that he did), all the donated money went to the school for research, and he wasn't sexing underage girls, then, well, why does that make Ito a coward? He took dirty/filthy money, and tried to make some good use of it for research and development in academia. Poor judgment. Not would I would have done. But worthy of employment termination? Meh. Does that make him a coward? Not necessarily.
The elephant is the room: When these "Sloors" were presented by Epstein to MIT staff their humanity didn't matter to the men and especially their humanity didn't matter to the women. Because they were sloors/ cattle. lower class cattle. The humanity of a sloor doesn't matter! So when Epstein showed up with these "sloors" none of the most "intelligent" people in our nation gave a f*! Perhaps these MIT women were put off because they couldn't match these desirability factor. Which blinded them to the CRIMINAL factor!! But the FACT is: all of these "feminist" at MIT didn't give a rats as* about protecting these children from these predator perverts because of their own egos! OR maybe they were in shock. But that's a cop out too!! You guys are supposed to be the smartest people in our nation and you can't identify a PIMP!!??? FU!!! You knew EXACTLY what Epstein was but you didn't care because your an elitist f*** These girls were poor and you are rich....protecting them was simply not in your interest! And the men are just scum. We as women either protect each other or we don't. This went on because all of these smart people at MIT feel above a "SLOOOR" so her life didn't matter!!! Just f*ing admit it!!! And stop hiding behind your flakey pretense. You people suck and you are a huge part of the problem!!! The police should have been called when Epstein paraded underage girls in front of scientist but no one did....not even the woman! Ya SUCK! ADMITT IT!!!!!
@@dominiquebender3788 Ok your post was off-putting by its sheer length, but you're right!!! It's weird how the Jessica Darling doesn't mention that at all.... Hmmmm
@@dominiquebender3788 K I don't know about not protecting the kids: they didn't know. Only monstrous psychopaths would not give two fucks about kids getting raped.... But Epstein definitely played the "meet my beautiful friends" card to get buddy buddy with the married male nerds at MIT, ON TOP of research money. Why wouldn't he?
my brother is an extremely charismatic psychopath. I don't think Lex has experienced this with someone close in his life, because once you experience it, you realize that you can't ever fully understand how powerful people's abilities are to hide their inner self. Once you have seen behind the curtain though, it changes you forever. You realize that these people are capable of incredible deception and it leaves you with a fundamental change in how you define the word trust.
@@trystdodge6177 that's an interesting idea, I saw it in a Korean series, a guy who was the son of a serial killer was judged by everyone for what his dad had done and was given a diagnosis of antisocial disorder as a teenager which he himself believed all his life to be true, but in the end it turned out he was just a regular guy who was living with a lot of guilt and also to survive abuse learned to bottle up his emotions and reactions.
Precisely what Tim was trying raise to him but he is too naive, or stubborn rather, to accept that some people have serious issues. Been through it my whole life with my brother too, but he's the funny one, takes life easy, you're the crazy one even though he's literally the effing psychopath.
Fellow South African here. Thank you for your bravery and also your service to our country my bru. People like you give the rest of us the hope to stay and fight the good fight.
@@pickitypopsnickitylovejone6558 Nah, boet. The place I blew the whistle in is the premier scientific research organisation in the country, an organisation of hundreds of engineers and scientists and pretty much the only institution the Auditor-General was awarding clean audits to. Just like the MIT example here, it showed me that even people who purport to be pursuing the truth and knowledge can sell out. And the way they covered up my case showed me that it went all the way to the CEO. If an organisation like that is filthy, then there is no place left in government structures where corrupt tentacles have not reached. It cost me everything, including my job which as a pale male means the end of your career, and seven years later I am still trying to rebuild my life overseas. There is no hope. I have seen the rot from the inside. The ANC has completely destroyed every government institution there is. Get out if you still can. Fuck South Africa. Fuck the ANC. And fuck all the Bantus who keep returning them to power. T.I.A., amiright?
Another fellow saffa here - I respect your choices immensely. This country needs more bravery in the face of cowardice for the sake of power and profit.
Reminds me of the sentiment quoted various ways attributed to various people “The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.” MLK JR @Danny Archer I had a friend in a similar situation to you, I can only imagine the courage and toll it must have taken.
She must’ve lived an incredibly sheltered life to actually believe there are no evil people, only evil actions. There are most certainly evil humans in this world, and I hope she remains lucky enough to never run across any of them.
After dating more than one person that lacked empathy it would just never occur to me to say this. I know most of us are just doing normal bad things because we are damaged and trying to cope. But some humans cope by turning all their emotions off in a way that makes them lose empathy for themselves and others. This is just the normal way they act. Now for me I also don’t consider it evil in a biblical way, I think they are so damaged they have become so dark they seem evil. They can enjoy harming others like laughing as they assault or kill. Those people def fit the criteria for evil. I think you can become so damaged you become evil and that is why we need to stop normalizing abuse and start dealing with this issue. Too many of these people are the root of the corruption in this world and once they gain power they try to stay in power and keep it in their family. Those few corrupt people that are doing this are not safe and we should all learn more about them. I wish I knew more before I fell in love with people like this. I survived narrowly but the brain damage led to me being severely disabled with severe MS. So yes, I have referred to that ex many times as evil. He gave me a bunch of concussions for months and then I woke up to him laughing over my body because he beat me unconscious. I hope to educate people more on these people so they can tell when one is hiding among them and help stop them from harming more people. And maybe I can even help some of the abusers learn how to grow and evolve into a healthier way of impacting others as I encourage people to dump them faster. We should not give these people our time and energy unless they are getting better. If they are just using us its better to identity it sooner and find a safe way out with minimal harm done to all.
Sometimes I belive it's a type of propaganda to get people to not see what's clearly in front of them... or to go easy on them whenever they finally are caught... I've been noticing a constantly repeating pattern in countless action/drama films & shows for many years now (literrly seen it over 100 times now), where the bad guy is doing absolutely horrible things, & the good guys finally get to him/her after brutally killing their way through countless of their random unamed working class hired henchman (usually between 10-100 of them they had to kill to get there) but then they have some ridiculous moral dilemma when it comes to killing the big bad guy, no don't do it.... don't let him bring you down to his level... it'll be much better to make him live with what he's done...!?!!! Umm why no reservations with all the other pawns you masacred right before this????? It has to be psychological preping the masses to let them off the hook for what they've done.
Because they don't have the safety nets to explain away themselves. That's how bad and extensive it is Doesn't matter what it actually is, the silence speaks volumes
Her point about homeless people exercising control in their life in destructive ways is spot on and far more common in life than people realize. My entire life I had never stolen anything. When I turned 33 my wife was diagnosed with a terminal disease. I would wake up at 5am and administer her morning meds, clean her up, and head to work. At work I did what was required of me by my supervisors. After work I went straight home to be her caretaker until falling asleep in my work clothes. After this routine for a year or 2 I found myself compulsively going into stores where I didn't even need anything and stealing something. Nothing big , expensive or meaningful, maybe a pack of batteries from cvs or bug spray from home Depot. I didn't understand it at all and at first I thought I was chasing the dopamine that came from getting away with it. But then I started talking to a professional and I realized I was attempting to exercise control in my life. Every waking minute of my life was spent fulfilling someone else's needs, life has taken all control from me. As well as everything I cared about and this was my way of standing up to life and declaring that I am in control. People do this alot more than they realize. People throw tantrums, are mean, are spiteful , are jealous , are violent. Usually always it's a way of gaining control.
Her husband has a smoking hot wife. Maybe if he never got to that place having luck with such a hot woman in his life, maybe "even" him (she probably thinks very highly of him) would have been able of doing something perverted/harassing. It's always easy for people to speak of their high values when they had it easy (myself included). She feels so entitelt. "Oh I can tell all the necessary boundaries/"lines" from the unnecessary ones, I know all the answers". She doesn't even know herself. Wants to understand everyone and disect everyone. First she should disect her own personality
This lady who believes everyone is good and there are no evil people lives in a world so far removed from reality it's terrifying. She should be made to watch "Dateline" or "48 hours" for just a few days!!
@@TimothyCHenderson I agree. This applies to Harvard, Caltech (I've worked here) and other private schools which is where I'm working right now. The same shit goes down at all places because crazy/evil/asshole people are everywhere.
“I don’t believe in evil people”, two seconds later… “except for Maybe sociopaths that are specifically trying to harm people”, two seconds later… “but I don’t believe people are evil..they just do bad things.” Sounds more like she wants to believe people aren’t evil or she doesn’t like the word.
Danger is a lot easier to define then evil. We can agree that some people are dangerous and should be contained for the safety of others without agreeing on what evil is, or even if evil exists.
@@cerebralm Either Both Good & Evil exist or neither do, you literally can't have 1 without the other, same as you can't have light or shadow without the other, they are literally defined by the each other's existence. So not believing in either is called Nilhism.... not the noble belief yall seem to all be believing it to be to say evil doesn't exist... it's naive, it's escapism, it's even somewhat dangerous & cowardly, as you like so many become yet another willing partisapent.... baring their head I'm the sand rather than facing the beast that surely exists
@@davegraham716 I'm not saying any of the things you assume I'm saying. And what you assume I'm saying isn't even coherent. How could I be participating "willingly" in something I don't believe exists? If anything I would argue that belief in evil, seeing it as the best way to define anyone who does something reprehensible, THAT is cowardly. The unwillingness to understand, because you're afraid you might find honourable or even simply relatable motives, and that would take away your right to hatred. And for what it's worth, I think you underestimate my desire to see people hang for their crimes. I just don't feel a need to label them evil in the process. To me it's just pragmatic, protecting those who wouldn't cause such damage from people who would. To label it evil would cloud our judgment. It's just an action that needs to be stopped.
She's a little bit gimpy with it she encourages women to do soemthing that she slanders men for help it make fecking sense and she does alot of excusing for her boy Joey lmfao hypocrite.
I absolutely guarantee the supervisor who groped her had done it before AND had been reported. First time it’s he said, she said and she gets a different reporting chain. Second and third and tenth time? Now we’re in criminal territory for whole institute.
Like Lex said, he was pressured / fired from MIT. That means that the person wasn’t being accountable out of free will, they probably wouldn’t own up if they were never forced to.
Or, the person was pressured to talk to hundreds of people that were just like Epstein, and their response was "Why would I resign, when you ask me to bring these types of people into our network?".
Fortunately Kate does not seem like she met really manipulative people. I moved away from the fundamentally everybody is good crowd a while ago, a lot of people can't and will not be recovered, they will use you and everyone around them until they drank the last drop of blood they have (metaphorically speaking), unless someone stop them. When you think that they are fixed it's only because they moved on to victims who have not talked yet.
Yes. Having her attitude with truly self serving people is equivalent to giving in to a hostage taker or a bully's demands, it only emboldens and empowers them to do worse.
I'm at a university, have the exact same setup, many admin operate in a world completely separate from the activities of academics and students and admin keeps growing while academic numbers decline. A cult of bureaucracy.
It's ironic that she accuses men of being unable/unwilling to understand the different perspectives of women, while at the same time she hasn't made a single effort to understand the different perspectives of men during this whole clip. Empathy is a two way street, and expecting it to only go one way is one of the most self absorbed and unempathetic mindsets possible. Her statement that society allows for male neuro divergence but not female Neuro divergence is an absolute falsehood, and an example of how she only looks at things from her own perspective.
People who say there are no evil people in the world have lived sheltered, privileged lives and their opinion should count less in society and especially politics because it simply doesn't reflect reality and leads to ineffective and damaging policy.
@@DanielAnderssson agreed, however if we all were just a little braver, at least when it isn’t overwhelmingly hard to have courage, the world would be a better place. Through overwhelming hardship, cowardice is understandable.
Lance Armstrong is a dirty cheat, but some try to make excuses for him because he’s American. If he was Russian, Chinese, even French(!) the Americans would be raging that he robbed genuine, clean, honest competitors. Remember how the US was fuming about the 14 yr old Russian ice skating girl at the winter olympics? 😂
It’s called Public Perception. Which is why you should never take so called high profile people at face value. Generally a lot of people are mentally unstable from duress, but that because they’re functioning and or making money at a high level it gets overlooked for all the cogs in the chain to work. Until something breaks down. The world is a cesspool.😬
Yes! And Epstein was used to blackmail scientists, in order to keep certain narratives alive in the public science discourse, and keep them away from discovering the secret physics that gets done in Government labs, private corps secret labs, dealing with free energy, anti gravity type ufo, etc..etc..etc...Keeping the world going down a dead end keeps the grant money flowing, and everything neat and tidy. Theres no money in free energy next level tech being given to the free world. So they use blackmail to keep the science going down dead ends, like black holes, dark energy, dark matter etc....Harvard, like you mentioned, is one of the most corrupt institutions in the world. Look at how a paper from there, was used to demonize hydroxycloriquine as a theraputic in stopping virus etc...this paper turned out to be full of shti, but the damage was done, and the emergency use exemption was granted to the vax. It wouldnt have been if they didnt cancel hydroxy. They use this template with everyhthing in the world.
Says theirs a reply but it's not their... refreshed & nothing... must be those 1st amendment gremlins again..... they live off of consuming our free speech & other rights.
I think it’s very telling how careful she seems to be about what she says. It should be more than obvious the implications of having a foreign intelligence blackmail operation fully entrenched in the most prestigious academic institutions. This going on at a time when we are being told to “trust the science” and to give up our most basic freedoms and rights. Get some balls people.
Yes - this aspect has been covered up very carefully. Israel is the only so-called friendly country that has active intelligence operations in the USA. Epstein bribed these professors for a reason - to get access to their research. Research is very valuable and the basis for innovative products , Epstein used this research either for himself, for his billionaire friends or for Israel.
I wish I had met more women like her during my lifetime. I've rarely had the chance to witness such a mature and calmed perspective of a woman. She seems like someone who can lead a healthy environment for development.
Absolutely. It’s just so depressingly rare. And even she seemed to have a disposition that it’s not. Or that annoyance at that implication, as though we’re missing out on all these towering female intellects because of societal structures. While that may be anecdotally true, it’s just not the case.
Yeah, she has an oversimplified view on neurodiversity. It's actually pretty offensive. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume that she doesn't really know what she's talking about.
Yes, and it starts from a very young age. We don't tolerate little girls going around beating up on little boys...but we somewhat tolerate little boys beating up on each other...."boys will be boys".
A much more interesting conversation would be about the projects he was funding then cross references them with his personal writings. That’s where the most interesting topics lie. He has quotes along the lines of “I want to populate the entire planet with my seed” and was funding projects to make himself immortal. That mindset definitely still lives on and they have a lot of money…
Exactly what I was thinking... as much as his Chanel is about science & cutting edge tech, I'm super surprised about the lack of interest in his mysterious hidden New Mexico James bond- SuperVillianEsk underground multimillion$ funded cutting edge Madscience Laboratories were up to... & why that's still not been properly & thouregly investigated?? Then again why would we expect them to when the authorities don't even investigate the most ridiculous bannarepublic all the cameras in the byilding simultaneously being erased- prison murder? Or breakout? Neither can be ruled out... only a suicide can be ruled out.... 0% chance of that... & if you think it was... you need to go to the hospital cause you must have some worms eating your freaking brain my friend.
Of COURSE they knew about his prior conviction. That slap on the wrist was the ADVERTISEMENT that let those kinds of people know he was the guy who was connected and can get away with it, so invite him into your office and have a private chat with him about the goods and services he can procure. Now that he got dumped, it moved on to the next guy. Now you understand why the interview with Prince Andrew was so ridiculous, yet he got away with it. It's just a marketing strategy to show who the next point of contact is for that underworld.

And they killed the scapegoat, so now we are scapegoating Ghislaine. Just as Kate says about how we spiral out from the source snd destroy only what we have power over
When an adult fully engages a child into a serious situation that will violate them and abuse them .I feel it is the most horrible crimes against the innocent, which is what she did over many years to many young girls !! I hope she gets the full sentence for her crimes in spite of her money and connections !!!!
Give the names of the people who need to resign. The system of cutting off a hand from a thief was brutal, but it was really easy to spot the people who stole.
Seems like both of them are trying really hard to explain away corruption, complicity, lack of integrity and sex trafficking. It must not be these things but some kind of inevitable aspect of human nature.
My step dad obtained 2 degrees from MIT before his naval officer career (long ago). He was/is still socially awkward. Hearing about Epstein and the MIT donations and such he actually said something to the effect of "college taught me about people and how that elite world works. The Navy taught me that how the elite world works is also taught in those colleges" He theorized that MIT was only working on the learned behavior of accepting money for research at any means necessary. As a taught behavior. Made sense to me...considering my step dad's achievements and stunning career with world elites, I will take him at his word.
Richard Stallman licked a woman's arm from wrist to elbow. I picture that taking a second or two to happen. An important question that did not get asked here is: what did the woman do while he was licking her, or even right after? A common cliche in old movies, from 1940's give or take a decade, is a woman slapping a man's face and saying something like "Fresh!" I think more women slapping a man's face in person, in the moment, either actually or metaphorically, is the real MeToo movement we need.
I disagree with her saying that there are no evil people. There are beyond evil people in this world - serial killers are yet one example and there are most evil people amongst serial killers.
Man it is crazy how full of ish adults are these days. It actually sounds like this interview is about reprimanding toddlers. (“But but bu…nuerodivergence!”😂) I would trust a random lumberjack on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere with my life before I trusted some wuss in Academia with my car.
@@mojojojo1529 Actually hes right and clearly someone should slap the holy shit out of you 😆 THESE SO CALLED INTELLECTUALS ARE COMPLETELY IGNORANT AS TO THE WAYS OF THE WORLD.
Flavors of ish abound within us all...may seem starkly different at the surface..in more ways than not are utilized for the same means and end up at the same place...contemplate the fundamentals and get out of the shit. In short: ua-cam.com/video/b4aze4JhiUU/v-deo.html
Haha my husband is a lumberjack (which are called timber fallers these days) and he is the most honest, gentlest and safest person to be with you could ever wish to meet!
I wish they would fill us in on what happened at MIT and what the cowardly actions were…and I wish she would give details on the “red flags”… it all sounds so mysterious with few examples
Keep in mind the dude was not an anomaly. There’s many of them in all walks of life, some just have the power to exercise it at insane depth. High percentage are likely concentrated in CEO and political positions. More similarities and psyche than most acknowledge. They’re after power and gravitate where it’s attainable.
No homeless people trash the bathroom because they are trashy people… sometimes we just need to stop over analyzing other people’s acts and find a deeper meaning behind it
The fact that people who are supposed to be intelligent are only figuring stuff like this out at this later point in their lives demonstrates very clearly that intelligence is not the same as wisdom.
I think risk aversion is the natural reaction to any asymmetrical risk/reward situation. A minimal reward for doing the right thing, and risk of ruin for doing the wrong thing/making a mistake breeds ultra conservative risk strategies.
Uh yeah, there are evil people. Get in a relationship with someone with borderline personality disorder or talk to a daughter of a narcissistic Mother. Stories of my life. There are evil people. Some people are broken. They don't understand love at all. Everything is transactional. They just don't get it. Some are so deluded they project their bullshit onto you and accuse you of what they do. It's really messed up. They gaslight you and your loved ones into thinking you're the one with a mental illness. They isolate you. It's hard to tell if they believe their own lies or are that disconnected from reality.
I have a question about the discussion about how to respond to someone/groups that are upset and yelling because they are mad at actions. At what point does a person have to reach in a situation where they have angered the mob and tried everything that you laid out for the person to do to understand? Say the person asked the reason for the outrage, Realized it was baseless, explained that to them and yet was still getting yelled at? If the person knows that they haven't done wrong and was receiving the outrage because the feelings had been hurt I feel like a person has a responsibility to stand their ground. The current culture we find ourselves in are a result of people not standing for what they believe in if they know that it was right!
Of course, a few people knew what was happening. This took horrific, emense , and audacious coordination. I would estimate at least a 1000 people knew. All over the world.
Zoe IT'S just like with the COVID Scandal: millions of people know what happened with the covid virus and the vaccine but they are not all together in the same room hence-- lacking cohesion-- they lack power and they are afraid.😟
Just when I thought I couldn't like these conversations more, the podcast comes up with an even more brilliant conversation. I love, love this analysis of a conflict and how it applies to conflicts anywhere.
Around 20:30 Kate and Lex discuss people doing evil things and essentially all people are good,this goes against the reality that there are very obviously inherently evil people in our world that seem normal at first look but may have very dysfunctional and abusive tendancies in theri personalities.A malignant narcassist is incapable of behaving in what most of us would consider "normal" behavior ,they only mimic this type of behavior to those that call them out.
what is an interesting point is Jeffrey and his friends worked in schools, and maybe all schools perform this way. Who knows! . Picking out the girls or boys they needed to feed his friends, Who knows!
Come on guys. Money talks. It’s the loudest voice in the room. Let’s not forget that hindsight is easy. You can talk all day…. His client list is still missing. Why not pressure that point? Ohhhhh here you go Lex…. money….. dirty politics…. sex… power….since the beginning of time. You think this guy was an original? Let’s be honest, When he was alive…. No one would believe a word you say without proof… Fact. Hindsight is talentless.
The world is full of only good people. There are no evil people, just good people that do bad things. I'm sorry, she definitely does not live in the real world.
Lex, you are an excellent interviewer. Extremely adept at exploring many different aspects of a subject without showing prejudice or preference…impressive.
The statement that people of different walks of life see things differently is completely true and that is why an organizations needs this kind of diversity to keep it in check. An organization that only has like-mind people starts developing a kind of numbness to impropriety and abuse. The story of what Richard Spellman did to her friend is appalling particularly hearing that the rest of the people tried to laugh it out. I would have punch him in the face! My daughter is applying currently to MIT and this has been an eye opening discussion.
You can always tell if someone is mostly a good person. Even if they are super charismatic, there is something deep down that knows if someone is fundamentally 'dodgy'. I always judge by thinking 'would I leave my kids with this person'.
There's allot of people in this world... easily millions who have made that mistake. Whether it be another person, a babysitter, a teacher, could even go as far as say the govt. The schooling systems, cps......
Regarding the question about how Epstein got INTO the MIT circles, people are very, very rarely in an unassailable position - even a tenured professor is not untouchable. Sharing an instinct or opinion publicly about someone is risky in the 21st century workplace. For that alone, you could get called a bully, or sexist, or a bigot, or whatever. When it comes to pointing out someone's flaw or glaring red flag that is clearly a powerful person - like your boss introduces you to them, or the creep drops names... those are strands of the social web that will go a-jangling when you shake them. Add to that the legitimate desperation university departments have when it comes to getting funds or extra time or influence with a policy maker... a person's career can become radioactive in a matter of seconds.... at the whim of some office stooge. Just as every single person has a different vocabulary, every person has a different collection of instances where someone like Epstein could have revealed their true, dark self - a nuanced silent laugh, a hard stare, a connection someone made after the fact. Not everyone knew the same information. Now if someone at MIT EXPERIENCED Epstein's degenerate behavior or had it on trusted authority he was a pedophile or sex trafficker or whatever, then anonymous tips should have been given at least.
I've learned through years and years of being judged for being quiet that most people don't care what you've been through. People feel so threatened by someone who keep to themselves. They don't know anything about you and it bothers them. Judgment is always the first action. Im very friendly to people when they speak to me. I'm polite but I just choose to not engage with people unless they engage with me. Im stoic and idk why but it really bothers certain people. Over time they will always test me to try and get a reaction out of me. Unfortunately for them I'm 10 steps ahead of them I can see them coming from a mile away.
I'm the same way and I know exactly what your talking about and I believe the thing is usually one of two things some people think I think I'm better then them when I dont believe this or second they seek their own ego validation and approach so clearly like you said it's really almost laughable how clear it is because I notice many small details and behavioral differences around me to say the least hang in their brother I just remain calm and use humor allot to myself to make it through life tbh
@@smokeface7111 thanks I appreciate your words. I think a lot of ppl are super insecure and like you said the ego thing is a big part of it. Quiet ppl tend to be comfortable in their own skin. I deal with ppl at work constantly trying to evoke their dominance. Even the dusty ass butler acts a certain way but I just chuckle because I make way more an hour than he does but because he wears a dress shirt he feels emboldened I guess 😆
IMO at least is seems to mostly be men that are bothered and usually ones with a big ego and I can read insecurities like no other if I was the type of person I could play with them easily but I think that's insidious and done try and manipulate people ever intentionally. We do live in a heirarchy of sorts I believe people judge like you said but from a selfish front and like you and seek validation or decide to dislike you and justify that feeling what I really notice is the loud ones are usually insecure but almost overly social unlike me so I just smile
@@FermentedGrumpyGrapeSqueezit I think sometimes the chuckling is they see how aware your eyes are and focused however they can't understand exactly what your thinking so they pretend your just a deer in the headlights to them when clearly that's not all that's going on it's like they think your dumb when your reading into things on a macro level. It's funny cause these "actors" try awfully hard to act nice and sometimes even think they can joke about you Infront of you without notice its pretty funny when you don't take it personal
I'm outgoing for the most part. I know what you mean and agree it's insecurity. I'm always interested in quiet people. I see those people too. They give many red flags.
EXACTLY IT'S called kompromat which is the Russian word for blackmailing people that you have information on. IT is thought that the government was involved and allowed Epstein to get away with everything. THE first conviction due to the government's involvement resulted in him getting off with a light punishment. He was free in the day to carry on n only slept in the prison at nite. It was only when a child went to her parents and said this is what this man is doing to me that they could no longer avoid the reality. They let their spy be sacrificed. THE day before he was murdered in the cell --all the pictures, which were hundreds and thousands, were taken as well as the list of people he knew. This was an inside hob from beginning to end. And Maxwell knew exactly what was happening and she was part of the operation because she brought in the young girls and often involved them and orgies when they thought they were going to be giving massage in exchange for spending money. She's now in a low security prison where she swims daily and gets to see movies
There are good and evil people, I've met and seen evil done by evil people that knew it was evil. It's dangerous and naive not to acknowledge evil people exist because they prey on your ignorance and empathy.
20:38 “I think everybody is a good human being. I know it’s a controversial opinion…” No, it’s not a controversial opinion. But it is complete and utter nonsense. Lady, there is evil in this world that no living human being has ever truly seen. There are some mystics and divines who may think they have seen the evil existent in the supernatural realm, but they have not, and yes, I include myself. But there is one man who saw and experienced the full wrath of Satan and his minions while on earth, and that man is Jesus of Nazareth. Lady, here’s a softball question for you: why do we have to teach children to do the morally right thing, but they seem to instinctually know how to do the morally wrong thing? Clock’s ticking.
I have a story that I think illustrates Lex's guest's idea regarding the acknowledging of the anger of a person whike not engaging in the anger, but rather engaging with the facts that caused them to get angry. THE story is about a man who actually was a boxer and that's how he earned his living and he ALWAYS won. HE was challenged once in a pub-- I believe in Ireland or someplace like that because I think he was Celtic --and he said: SURE. And then he said-- LET'S take it outside. SO they went outside and he was dressed nicely--in a suit and a white shirt and a tie. HE slowly took off the shirt; the jacket; the tie and cap. He laid them very neatly on the ground. THEN he faced his contestant and the Man by this time was so amazed and so scared due to this ritual that this very well known boxer had done that he said-- NO, I don't want to fight. I thought that was an amazing TRUE story and I think it's on a graphic level it illustrates what your guest was trying to indicate should be done when you are faced with someone who's angry at you. ONE could of course analyze that and say that NOW, after tge pause reauired for the bixer to dusribe, he was no longer angry but I think something much deeper was happening because actually he was REALLY scared NOW of this other man where he had not been when he challenged him to a fight, even though he knew his reputation. I think it could be the contrast between cold Fury and hot anger: of the two, the former is much more lethal and much more scary and THEY NEVER quit till they're done. And he said as much after he told the story: he said his MO was to fight til death😱.
I want to know the Gary Gensler connection as well as the Clintons. Why these people are untouchable and yet we all see the proximity to the fire is so concerning.
lex's interest in human action is boring. The reason people do stuff is because they want to do what they want to do. Either get into psych, or dont but don't play between human action, stereotypes like "assholes" and super vague wordage that makes you sound smart.

It’s criminally bad leadership within MIT and it’s alleged overseers. The state funds them and has people whose job on paper is to hold them accountable ethically (fiscally, morally) and the federal government which funds MIT massively. Then you have MITs boards. All should be fired for two reasons. If they knew, they should be fired and prosecuted. If they didn’t know, they should be fired because it’s their most fundamental job to know and they failed. But the powerful circle the wagons and everyone but the first marginally ethical person skates. These people compromised themselves before and know how to cover up.
Kate Darling managed to blow my mind, in the first five minutes alone, without saying anything I didn’t know already. But the way she phrased it, is so profound and clear, it as if you hear something for the first time, and yet you somehow knew it all along.
Jordan Peterson speaks about how a person who doesn’t know of the evil they are capable of, yet is innocent out of ignorance is more of a coward and more dangerous then the person who knows their shadow, has it under control and acts with a good heart because of it. This resonates as she says that a coward is worse than an asshole. And many psychopaths are in high profile positions because they have charisma and are willing to sacrifice others at the expense of profit, or whatever it is that helps them feel above others. Learn to read energy, not just empty words and fake smiles.

Guest bio: Kate Darling is a researcher at MIT Media Lab interested in human robot interaction and robot ethics.
Jesus! That is fucking innnnntense!!! 😮😮 Most intense Lex pod ever!! Damn!
Ito accepted some $525,000 from Epstein (possibly $1.2 million) as donations to the MIT Media lab. Ito did not have sex with underage girls. He took donation money for the school from a convicted sex offender. And for that he was fired/resigned/whatever, from MIT and a bunch of boards.
(edited to verify the post stays)
The question you have to ask yourself is this, if Ito didn't personally enrich himself from Epstein (it does not appear that he did), all the donated money went to the school for research, and he wasn't sexing underage girls, then, well, why does that make Ito a coward? He took dirty/filthy money, and tried to make some good use of it for research and development in academia. Poor judgment. Not would I would have done. But worthy of employment termination? Meh. Does that make him a coward? Not necessarily.
The elephant is the room:
When these "Sloors" were presented by Epstein to MIT staff their humanity didn't matter to the men and especially their humanity didn't matter to the women. Because they were sloors/ cattle. lower class cattle. The humanity of a sloor doesn't matter!
So when Epstein showed up with these "sloors" none of the most "intelligent" people in our nation gave a f*!
Perhaps these MIT women were put off because they couldn't match these desirability factor. Which blinded them to the CRIMINAL factor!! But the FACT is: all of these "feminist" at MIT didn't give a rats as* about protecting these children from these predator perverts because of their own egos!
OR maybe they were in shock. But that's a cop out too!! You guys are supposed to be the smartest people in our nation and you can't identify a PIMP!!??? FU!!! You knew EXACTLY what Epstein was but you didn't care because your an elitist f***
These girls were poor and you are rich....protecting them was simply not in your interest!
And the men are just scum.
We as women either protect each other or we don't. This went on because all of these smart people at MIT feel above a "SLOOOR" so her life didn't matter!!! Just f*ing admit it!!! And stop hiding behind your flakey pretense. You people suck and you are a huge part of the problem!!!
The police should have been called when Epstein paraded underage girls in front of scientist but no one did....not even the woman! Ya SUCK! ADMITT IT!!!!!
@@dominiquebender3788 Ok your post was off-putting by its sheer length, but you're right!!! It's weird how the Jessica Darling doesn't mention that at all.... Hmmmm
@@dominiquebender3788 K I don't know about not protecting the kids: they didn't know. Only monstrous psychopaths would not give two fucks about kids getting raped.... But Epstein definitely played the "meet my beautiful friends" card to get buddy buddy with the married male nerds at MIT, ON TOP of research money. Why wouldn't he?
my brother is an extremely charismatic psychopath. I don't think Lex has experienced this with someone close in his life, because once you experience it, you realize that you can't ever fully understand how powerful people's abilities are to hide their inner self. Once you have seen behind the curtain though, it changes you forever. You realize that these people are capable of incredible deception and it leaves you with a fundamental change in how you define the word trust.
All people are good there is no such thing as a sociopath, it's just a manifestation of oppression. Get real my dude
@@trystdodge6177 ?
@@trystdodge6177 that's an interesting idea, I saw it in a Korean series, a guy who was the son of a serial killer was judged by everyone for what his dad had done and was given a diagnosis of antisocial disorder as a teenager which he himself believed all his life to be true, but in the end it turned out he was just a regular guy who was living with a lot of guilt and also to survive abuse learned to bottle up his emotions and reactions.
@Morgan Ratzlaff Stop with that nonsense. Do you know how many people have died selflessly for others? What makes him so fuckin' special.
Precisely what Tim was trying raise to him but he is too naive, or stubborn rather, to accept that some people have serious issues. Been through it my whole life with my brother too, but he's the funny one, takes life easy, you're the crazy one even though he's literally the effing psychopath.
As a former whistleblower in a South African state-owned company, the statement "Sometimes cowards are worse than assholes" rings true.
Fellow South African here. Thank you for your bravery and also your service to our country my bru. People like you give the rest of us the hope to stay and fight the good fight.
@@pickitypopsnickitylovejone6558 Nah, boet. The place I blew the whistle in is the premier scientific research organisation in the country, an organisation of hundreds of engineers and scientists and pretty much the only institution the Auditor-General was awarding clean audits to.
Just like the MIT example here, it showed me that even people who purport to be pursuing the truth and knowledge can sell out. And the way they covered up my case showed me that it went all the way to the CEO. If an organisation like that is filthy, then there is no place left in government structures where corrupt tentacles have not reached.
It cost me everything, including my job which as a pale male means the end of your career, and seven years later I am still trying to rebuild my life overseas.
There is no hope. I have seen the rot from the inside. The ANC has completely destroyed every government institution there is.
Get out if you still can. Fuck South Africa. Fuck the ANC. And fuck all the Bantus who keep returning them to power. T.I.A., amiright?

@Danny Archer I had a friend in a similar situation to you, I can only imagine the courage and toll it must have taken.
She must’ve lived an incredibly sheltered life to actually believe there are no evil people, only evil actions.
There are most certainly evil humans in this world, and I hope she remains lucky enough to never run across any of them.
Agree
Completely agree. She may be too stupid to realize this.
She literally says apart from psycopaths

After dating more than one person that lacked empathy it would just never occur to me to say this. I know most of us are just doing normal bad things because we are damaged and trying to cope. But some humans cope by turning all their emotions off in a way that makes them lose empathy for themselves and others. This is just the normal way they act. Now for me I also don’t consider it evil in a biblical way, I think they are so damaged they have become so dark they seem evil. They can enjoy harming others like laughing as they assault or kill. Those people def fit the criteria for evil. I think you can become so damaged you become evil and that is why we need to stop normalizing abuse and start dealing with this issue. Too many of these people are the root of the corruption in this world and once they gain power they try to stay in power and keep it in their family. Those few corrupt people that are doing this are not safe and we should all learn more about them. I wish I knew more before I fell in love with people like this. I survived narrowly but the brain damage led to me being severely disabled with severe MS. So yes, I have referred to that ex many times as evil. He gave me a bunch of concussions for months and then I woke up to him laughing over my body because he beat me unconscious. I hope to educate people more on these people so they can tell when one is hiding among them and help stop them from harming more people. And maybe I can even help some of the abusers learn how to grow and evolve into a healthier way of impacting others as I encourage people to dump them faster. We should not give these people our time and energy unless they are getting better. If they are just using us its better to identity it sooner and find a safe way out with minimal harm done to all.
Lex's most toxic trait is bending over backwards to not accept that there are malicious people in the world
Thank you for saying it! It’s been my biggest problem with his podcast since I first discovered it
Sometimes I belive it's a type of propaganda to get people to not see what's clearly in front of them... or to go easy on them whenever they finally are caught... I've been noticing a constantly repeating pattern in countless action/drama films & shows for many years now (literrly seen it over 100 times now), where the bad guy is doing absolutely horrible things, & the good guys finally get to him/her after brutally killing their way through countless of their random unamed working class hired henchman (usually between 10-100 of them they had to kill to get there) but then they have some ridiculous moral dilemma when it comes to killing the big bad guy, no don't do it.... don't let him bring you down to his level... it'll be much better to make him live with what he's done...!?!!! Umm why no reservations with all the other pawns you masacred right before this????? It has to be psychological preping the masses to let them off the hook for what they've done.
Agreed. I love him. But evil exists.
I think they are too stupid to realize it.
Disagree.
How come they have not released the list of people who visited his island???

@@gamias3664 true
Because they don't have the safety nets to explain away themselves. That's how bad and extensive it is

Her point about homeless people exercising control in their life in destructive ways is spot on and far more common in life than people realize. My entire life I had never stolen anything. When I turned 33 my wife was diagnosed with a terminal disease. I would wake up at 5am and administer her morning meds, clean her up, and head to work. At work I did what was required of me by my supervisors. After work I went straight home to be her caretaker until falling asleep in my work clothes. After this routine for a year or 2 I found myself compulsively going into stores where I didn't even need anything and stealing something. Nothing big , expensive or meaningful, maybe a pack of batteries from cvs or bug spray from home Depot. I didn't understand it at all and at first I thought I was chasing the dopamine that came from getting away with it. But then I started talking to a professional and I realized I was attempting to exercise control in my life. Every waking minute of my life was spent fulfilling someone else's needs, life has taken all control from me. As well as everything I cared about and this was my way of standing up to life and declaring that I am in control. People do this alot more than they realize. People throw tantrums, are mean, are spiteful , are jealous , are violent. Usually always it's a way of gaining control.

Sooooooo true!

This is a long-known saying, but he's bright to recognize it.
Her husband has a smoking hot wife. Maybe if he never got to that place having luck with such a hot woman in his life, maybe "even" him (she probably thinks very highly of him) would have been able of doing something perverted/harassing. It's always easy for people to speak of their high values when they had it easy (myself included). She feels so entitelt. "Oh I can tell all the necessary boundaries/"lines" from the unnecessary ones, I know all the answers". She doesn't even know herself. Wants to understand everyone and disect everyone. First she should disect her own personality
The whole idea that a woman’s experience should be exactly the same as a man’s in every way is probably one of Western societies hugest blunders.

Danger is a lot easier to define then evil. We can agree that some people are dangerous and should be contained for the safety of others without agreeing on what evil is, or even if evil exists.
@@cerebralm Either Both Good & Evil exist or neither do, you literally can't have 1 without the other, same as you can't have light or shadow without the other, they are literally defined by the each other's existence. So not believing in either is called Nilhism.... not the noble belief yall seem to all be believing it to be to say evil doesn't exist... it's naive, it's escapism, it's even somewhat dangerous & cowardly, as you like so many become yet another willing partisapent.... baring their head I'm the sand rather than facing the beast that surely exists
@@davegraham716 I'm not saying any of the things you assume I'm saying. And what you assume I'm saying isn't even coherent. How could I be participating "willingly" in something I don't believe exists? If anything I would argue that belief in evil, seeing it as the best way to define anyone who does something reprehensible, THAT is cowardly. The unwillingness to understand, because you're afraid you might find honourable or even simply relatable motives, and that would take away your right to hatred. And for what it's worth, I think you underestimate my desire to see people hang for their crimes. I just don't feel a need to label them evil in the process. To me it's just pragmatic, protecting those who wouldn't cause such damage from people who would. To label it evil would cloud our judgment. It's just an action that needs to be stopped.
Two people taking ethics seriously in complex situations. Refreshing. And no one's trying to convince Lex that it's all in their heads.
Common sense
She's a little bit gimpy with it she encourages women to do soemthing that she slanders men for help it make fecking sense and she does alot of excusing for her boy Joey lmfao hypocrite.
I absolutely guarantee the supervisor who groped her had done it before AND had been reported. First time it’s he said, she said and she gets a different reporting chain. Second and third and tenth time? Now we’re in criminal territory for whole institute.
And yet she basically defends GM?
Like Lex said, he was pressured / fired from MIT. That means that the person wasn’t being accountable out of free will, they probably wouldn’t own up if they were never forced to.
Or, the person was pressured to talk to hundreds of people that were just like Epstein, and their response was "Why would I resign, when you ask me to bring these types of people into our network?".
Or they could have only admitted a small part of it to stop further investigations.
Fortunately Kate does not seem like she met really manipulative people. I moved away from the fundamentally everybody is good crowd a while ago, a lot of people can't and will not be recovered, they will use you and everyone around them until they drank the last drop of blood they have (metaphorically speaking), unless someone stop them.
When you think that they are fixed it's only because they moved on to victims who have not talked yet.
Yes. Having her attitude with truly self serving people is equivalent to giving in to a hostage taker or a bully's demands, it only emboldens and empowers them to do worse.
I'm at a university, have the exact same setup, many admin operate in a world completely separate from the activities of academics and students and admin keeps growing while academic numbers decline. A cult of bureaucracy.
It's ironic that she accuses men of being unable/unwilling to understand the different perspectives of women, while at the same time she hasn't made a single effort to understand the different perspectives of men during this whole clip.
Empathy is a two way street, and expecting it to only go one way is one of the most self absorbed and unempathetic mindsets possible.
Her statement that society allows for male neuro divergence but not female Neuro divergence is an absolute falsehood, and an example of how she only looks at things from her own perspective.
Exactly. She's actually something of a coward in that respect.
Yeah she seemed like a typical cluster b airhead to me

They can make millions and not pretend dummy. It was highly unethical, despite the others that were as well
Lance Armstrong is a dirty cheat, but some try to make excuses for him because he’s American. If he was Russian, Chinese, even French(!) the Americans would be raging that he robbed genuine, clean, honest competitors.
Remember how the US was fuming about the 14 yr old Russian ice skating girl at the winter olympics? 😂
Tally up the accounting. How many made how much money pretending outrage, how many made how much money enabling his doping.

Generally a lot of people are mentally unstable from duress, but that because they’re functioning and or making money at a high level it gets overlooked for all the cogs in the chain to work. Until something breaks down. The world is a cesspool.😬
Now you know why they had to get rid of Aaron Swartz.
MIT has deep roots to Tavistock and MKUltra, just like Harvard. Great interview.
Yes! And Epstein was used to blackmail scientists, in order to keep certain narratives alive in the public science discourse, and keep them away from discovering the secret physics that gets done in Government labs, private corps secret labs, dealing with free energy, anti gravity type ufo, etc..etc..etc...Keeping the world going down a dead end keeps the grant money flowing, and everything neat and tidy. Theres no money in free energy next level tech being given to the free world. So they use blackmail to keep the science going down dead ends, like black holes, dark energy, dark matter etc....Harvard, like you mentioned, is one of the most corrupt institutions in the world. Look at how a paper from there, was used to demonize hydroxycloriquine as a theraputic in stopping virus etc...this paper turned out to be full of shti, but the damage was done, and the emergency use exemption was granted to the vax. It wouldnt have been if they didnt cancel hydroxy. They use this template with everyhthing in the world.

I think it’s very telling how careful she seems to be about what she says. It should be more than obvious the implications of having a foreign intelligence blackmail operation fully entrenched in the most prestigious academic institutions. This going on at a time when we are being told to “trust the science” and to give up our most basic freedoms and rights. Get some balls people.
Yep they let the lunatics on colleges campuses take over the asylum - and so many more institutions
Well said. Grow a pair.
Yes - this aspect has been covered up very carefully. Israel is the only so-called friendly country that has active intelligence operations in the USA. Epstein bribed these professors for a reason - to get access to their research. Research is very valuable and the basis for innovative products , Epstein used this research either for himself, for his billionaire friends or for Israel.
Would love to see people like these two running an institution like MIT.
I wish I had met more women like her during my lifetime. I've rarely had the chance to witness such a mature and calmed perspective of a woman. She seems like someone who can lead a healthy environment for development.
Absolutely. It’s just so depressingly rare. And even she seemed to have a disposition that it’s not. Or that annoyance at that implication, as though we’re missing out on all these towering female intellects because of societal structures.
While that may be anecdotally true, it’s just not the case.

"Women are expected or told to mask their neurodivergence to kind of fit in, men are accomodated and excused"

Give the names of the people who need to resign.
The system of cutting off a hand from a thief was brutal, but it was really easy to spot the people who stole.
Seems like both of them are trying really hard to explain away corruption, complicity, lack of integrity and sex trafficking. It must not be these things but some kind of inevitable aspect of human nature.
My step dad obtained 2 degrees from MIT before his naval officer career (long ago). He was/is still socially awkward. Hearing about Epstein and the MIT donations and such he actually said something to the effect of
"college taught me about people and how that elite world works. The Navy taught me that how the elite world works is also taught in those colleges"
He theorized that MIT was only working on the learned behavior of accepting money for research at any means necessary. As a taught behavior.
Made sense to me...considering my step dad's achievements and stunning career with world elites, I will take him at his word.
Richard Stallman licked a woman's arm from wrist to elbow. I picture that taking a second or two to happen. An important question that did not get asked here is: what did the woman do while he was licking her, or even right after? A common cliche in old movies, from 1940's give or take a decade, is a woman slapping a man's face and saying something like "Fresh!" I think more women slapping a man's face in person, in the moment, either actually or metaphorically, is the real MeToo movement we need.
If a man did that to another man, it would be a swift kick in the balls. Why hold back with just a slap?
Shock and freeze response. women aren't socialized to slap men! That opens her up to assault charges and makes him sympathetic.
I disagree with her saying that there are no evil people. There are beyond evil people in this world - serial killers are yet one example and there are most evil people amongst serial killers.
Man it is crazy how full of ish adults are these days. It actually sounds like this interview is about reprimanding toddlers. (“But but bu…nuerodivergence!”😂) I would trust a random lumberjack on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere with my life before I trusted some wuss in Academia with my car.
Thank you for this. Was thinking it but u put it nicely
@@mojojojo1529 Actually hes right and clearly someone should slap the holy shit out of you 😆
THESE SO CALLED INTELLECTUALS ARE COMPLETELY IGNORANT AS TO THE WAYS OF THE WORLD.
Flavors of ish abound within us all...may seem starkly different at the surface..in more ways than not are utilized for the same means and end up at the same place...contemplate the fundamentals and get out of the shit. In short:

Haha my husband is a lumberjack (which are called timber fallers these days) and he is the most honest, gentlest and safest person to be with you could ever wish to meet!
@@didactica9326 Oh man these days falling some timber sounds so nice.
They hate the word evil but imagine what they do with the word 'sin.' Recoil like vampires, like most people.
"You can be a weird person and know its not ok to lick someone's arm." YES. Should go without saying...yet...
Something like that deserves immediate retaliation, because before you know it, you're a boiled frog.
I wish they would fill us in on what happened at MIT and what the cowardly actions were…and I wish she would give details on the “red flags”… it all sounds so mysterious with few examples
Keep in mind the dude was not an anomaly. There’s many of them in all walks of life, some just have the power to exercise it at insane depth. High percentage are likely concentrated in CEO and political positions. More similarities and psyche than most acknowledge. They’re after power and gravitate where it’s attainable.
No homeless people trash the bathroom because they are trashy people… sometimes we just need to stop over analyzing other people’s acts and find a deeper meaning behind it
The fact that people who are supposed to be intelligent are only figuring stuff like this out at this later point in their lives demonstrates very clearly that intelligence is not the same as wisdom.
I think risk aversion is the natural reaction to any asymmetrical risk/reward situation. A minimal reward for doing the right thing, and risk of ruin for doing the wrong thing/making a mistake breeds ultra conservative risk strategies.
Uh yeah, there are evil people. Get in a relationship with someone with borderline personality disorder or talk to a daughter of a narcissistic Mother. Stories of my life. There are evil people. Some people are broken. They don't understand love at all. Everything is transactional. They just don't get it. Some are so deluded they project their bullshit onto you and accuse you of what they do. It's really messed up. They gaslight you and your loved ones into thinking you're the one with a mental illness. They isolate you. It's hard to tell if they believe their own lies or are that disconnected from reality.
Exactly. She’s either extremely sheltered or stupid. Probably both. In fact, she is the type of person evil people love and want around.
There are lots of evil people in this world.
Her analogy of the homeless trashing a bathroom was really bad😂
Have you met teenagers?
I have a question about the discussion about how to respond to someone/groups that are upset and yelling because they are mad at actions. At what point does a person have to reach in a situation where they have angered the mob and tried everything that you laid out for the person to do to understand? Say the person asked the reason for the outrage, Realized it was baseless, explained that to them and yet was still getting yelled at? If the person knows that they haven't done wrong and was receiving the outrage because the feelings had been hurt I feel like a person has a responsibility to stand their ground. The current culture we find ourselves in are a result of people not standing for what they believe in if they know that it was right!
Of course, a few people knew what was happening. This took horrific, emense , and audacious coordination. I would estimate at least a 1000 people knew. All over the world.
Zoe IT'S just like with the COVID Scandal: millions of people know what happened with the covid virus and the vaccine but they are not all together in the same room hence-- lacking cohesion-- they lack power and they are afraid.😟
Just when I thought I couldn't like these conversations more, the podcast comes up with an even more brilliant conversation. I love, love this analysis of a conflict and how it applies to conflicts anywhere.
The most dangerous men in our society are the weak ones that yield great power.
What I learned. Everyone is corruptible, you just need to find what that person wants and offer that person just what they want.
Because people don't have morals.
Around 20:30 Kate and Lex discuss people doing evil things and essentially all people are good,this goes against the reality that there are very obviously inherently evil people in our world that seem normal at first look but may have very dysfunctional and abusive tendancies in theri personalities.A malignant narcassist is incapable of behaving in what most of us would consider "normal" behavior ,they only mimic this type of behavior to those that call them out.
They don’t realize that they’re the cowards they’re trying to describe. Stop laboring over the complexity of evil and make a stand against it.
I'm afraid there are evil people in this world.20:46
WELL DONE LEX FRIDMAN,
Quote: “sometimes cowards are worse than ass-holes”

She has seen it for herself.
what is an interesting point is Jeffrey and his friends worked in schools, and maybe all schools perform this way. Who knows! . Picking out the girls or boys they needed to feed his friends, Who knows!
Come on guys. Money talks. It’s the loudest voice in the room. Let’s not forget that hindsight is easy.
You can talk all day…. His client list is still missing.
Why not pressure that point?
Ohhhhh here you go Lex…. money….. dirty politics…. sex… power….since the beginning of time. You think this guy was an original? Let’s be honest, When he was alive…. No one would believe a word you say without proof… Fact.
Hindsight is talentless.
Cowardice IS a thing however. Plenty to go around here
Eastein was just a facilitator. Maybe even the fall guy.....?
9:36 She literally paused in frame thought the video got buffered 😂
The world is full of only good people. There are no evil people, just good people that do bad things. I'm sorry, she definitely does not live in the real world.
as empath targeted by narcissistic I disagree .
You can see evil or bad spirits in them sometimes
There is no one good but God.
Lex, you are an excellent interviewer. Extremely adept at exploring many different aspects of a subject without showing prejudice or preference…impressive.
She sounds complicit
The statement that people of different walks of life see things differently is completely true and that is why an organizations needs this kind of diversity to keep it in check. An organization that only has like-mind people starts developing a kind of numbness to impropriety and abuse. The story of what Richard Spellman did to her friend is appalling particularly hearing that the rest of the people tried to laugh it out. I would have punch him in the face! My daughter is applying currently to MIT and this has been an eye opening discussion.
Reminder names from this video:
-Joy Ito MIT Richard Stallman
You can always tell if someone is mostly a good person.
Even if they are super charismatic, there is something deep down that knows if someone is fundamentally 'dodgy'.
I always judge by thinking 'would I leave my kids with this person'.
Right up until you meet a real sociopath, that system will work well.
There's allot of people in this world... easily millions who have made that mistake. Whether it be another person, a babysitter, a teacher, could even go as far as say the govt. The schooling systems, cps......
In other words, all will continue until the public says stopping now.
Regarding the question about how Epstein got INTO the MIT circles, people are very, very rarely in an unassailable position - even a tenured professor is not untouchable. Sharing an instinct or opinion publicly about someone is risky in the 21st century workplace. For that alone, you could get called a bully, or sexist, or a bigot, or whatever. When it comes to pointing out someone's flaw or glaring red flag that is clearly a powerful person - like your boss introduces you to them, or the creep drops names... those are strands of the social web that will go a-jangling when you shake them. Add to that the legitimate desperation university departments have when it comes to getting funds or extra time or influence with a policy maker... a person's career can become radioactive in a matter of seconds.... at the whim of some office stooge.
Just as every single person has a different vocabulary, every person has a different collection of instances where someone like Epstein could have revealed their true, dark self - a nuanced silent laugh, a hard stare, a connection someone made after the fact. Not everyone knew the same information. Now if someone at MIT EXPERIENCED Epstein's degenerate behavior or had it on trusted authority he was a pedophile or sex trafficker or whatever, then anonymous tips should have been given at least.
Some quantification of Kate's friend's forearm salinity might be assistive more than social and professional status.
I've learned through years and years of being judged for being quiet that most people don't care what you've been through. People feel so threatened by someone who keep to themselves. They don't know anything about you and it bothers them. Judgment is always the first action. Im very friendly to people when they speak to me. I'm polite but I just choose to not engage with people unless they engage with me. Im stoic and idk why but it really bothers certain people. Over time they will always test me to try and get a reaction out of me. Unfortunately for them I'm 10 steps ahead of them I can see them coming from a mile away.
I'm the same way and I know exactly what your talking about and I believe the thing is usually one of two things some people think I think I'm better then them when I dont believe this or second they seek their own ego validation and approach so clearly like you said it's really almost laughable how clear it is because I notice many small details and behavioral differences around me to say the least hang in their brother I just remain calm and use humor allot to myself to make it through life tbh
@@smokeface7111 thanks I appreciate your words. I think a lot of ppl are super insecure and like you said the ego thing is a big part of it. Quiet ppl tend to be comfortable in their own skin. I deal with ppl at work constantly trying to evoke their dominance. Even the dusty ass butler acts a certain way but I just chuckle because I make way more an hour than he does but because he wears a dress shirt he feels emboldened I guess 😆
IMO at least is seems to mostly be men that are bothered and usually ones with a big ego and I can read insecurities like no other if I was the type of person I could play with them easily but I think that's insidious and done try and manipulate people ever intentionally. We do live in a heirarchy of sorts I believe people judge like you said but from a selfish front and like you and seek validation or decide to dislike you and justify that feeling what I really notice is the loud ones are usually insecure but almost overly social unlike me so I just smile
@@FermentedGrumpyGrapeSqueezit I think sometimes the chuckling is they see how aware your eyes are and focused however they can't understand exactly what your thinking so they pretend your just a deer in the headlights to them when clearly that's not all that's going on it's like they think your dumb when your reading into things on a macro level. It's funny cause these "actors" try awfully hard to act nice and sometimes even think they can joke about you Infront of you without notice its pretty funny when you don't take it personal
I'm outgoing for the most part. I know what you mean and agree it's insecurity. I'm always interested in quiet people. I see those people too. They give many red flags.
You’re missing a big point, he definitely had information and could blackmail people which doesn’t absolve them either.
EXACTLY IT'S called kompromat which is the Russian word for blackmailing people that you have information on.
IT is thought that the government was involved and allowed Epstein to get away with everything. THE first conviction due to the government's involvement resulted in him getting off with a light punishment. He was free in the day to carry on n only slept in the prison at nite. It was only when a child went to her parents and said this is what this man is doing to me that they could no longer avoid the reality. They let their spy be sacrificed. THE day before he was murdered in the cell --all the pictures, which were hundreds and thousands, were taken as well as the list of people he knew. This was an inside hob from beginning to end. And Maxwell knew exactly what was happening and she was part of the operation because she brought in the young girls and often involved them and orgies when they thought they were going to be giving massage in exchange for spending money. She's now in a low security prison where she swims daily and gets to see movies
There are good and evil people, I've met and seen evil done by evil people that knew it was evil. It's dangerous and naive not to acknowledge evil people exist because they prey on your ignorance and empathy.
20:38 “I think everybody is a good human being. I know it’s a controversial opinion…”
No, it’s not a controversial opinion. But it is complete and utter nonsense.
Lady, there is evil in this world that no living human being has ever truly seen. There are some mystics and divines who may think they have seen the evil existent in the supernatural realm, but they have not, and yes, I include myself.
But there is one man who saw and experienced the full wrath of Satan and his minions while on earth, and that man is Jesus of Nazareth.
Lady, here’s a softball question for you: why do we have to teach children to do the morally right thing, but they seem to instinctually know how to do the morally wrong thing? Clock’s ticking.
GREAT chat. thanks!
I have a story that I think illustrates Lex's guest's idea regarding the acknowledging of the anger of a person whike not engaging in the anger, but rather engaging with the facts that caused them to get angry.
THE story is about a man who actually was a boxer and that's how he earned his living and he ALWAYS won.
HE was challenged once in a pub-- I believe in Ireland or someplace like that because I think he was Celtic --and he said: SURE. And then he said-- LET'S take it outside. SO they went outside and he was dressed nicely--in a suit and a white shirt and a tie. HE slowly took off the shirt; the jacket; the tie and cap.
He laid them very neatly on the ground. THEN he faced his contestant and the Man by this time was so amazed and so scared due to this ritual that this very well known boxer had done that he said-- NO, I don't want to fight.
I thought that was an amazing TRUE story and I think it's on a graphic level it illustrates what your guest was trying to indicate should be done when you are faced with someone who's angry at you. ONE could of course analyze that and say that NOW, after tge pause reauired for the bixer to dusribe, he was no longer angry but I think something much deeper was happening because actually he was REALLY scared NOW of this other man where he had not been when he challenged him to a fight, even though he knew his reputation.
I think it could be the contrast between cold Fury and hot anger: of the two, the former is much more lethal and much more scary and THEY NEVER quit till they're done. And he said as much after he told the story: he said his MO was to fight til death😱.
Can we try to make lex to being Eric Weinstein back in his pod. Where did he go? I miss Eric so much.
Once I hear “neuro divergent” I’m out dog
What makes you think everyone in MIT is genius and pious 😂😂😂😂😂 ??
They don’t communicate with emojis ?
Two siblings who went there, lots of not very smart people and lots of jerks at MIT. Faculty and undergrad and grad students included.
I want to know the Gary Gensler connection as well as the Clintons. Why these people are untouchable and yet we all see the proximity to the fire is so concerning.
We have to wait until they die, and even then it may still be classified.
lex's interest in human action is boring. The reason people do stuff is because they want to do what they want to do. Either get into psych, or dont but don't play between human action, stereotypes like "assholes" and super vague wordage that makes you sound smart.
I can't believe she's teaching a child that ridiculous belief. Even the child knows better than her and she's misleading her.
Lex is super naive and where he dismisses her friend getting her arm licked as maybe just being weird is a problem .
Or those homeless people just didn’t give a shit about other people’s property.
Smart does not mean good

It’s criminally bad leadership within MIT and it’s alleged overseers. The state funds them and has people whose job on paper is to hold them accountable ethically (fiscally, morally) and the federal government which funds MIT massively. Then you have MITs boards. All should be fired for two reasons. If they knew, they should be fired and prosecuted. If they didn’t know, they should be fired because it’s their most fundamental job to know and they failed. But the powerful circle the wagons and everyone but the first marginally ethical person skates. These people compromised themselves before and know how to cover up.
'Amen' sister. I absolutely agree, and learned early that assholes have much more integrity than cowards.
Kate Darling managed to blow my mind, in the first five minutes alone, without saying anything I didn’t know already. But the way she phrased it, is so profound and clear, it as if you hear something for the first time, and yet you somehow knew it all along.
Jordan Peterson speaks about how a person who doesn’t know of the evil they are capable of, yet is innocent out of ignorance is more of a coward and more dangerous then the person who knows their shadow, has it under control and acts with a good heart because of it.
This resonates as she says that a coward is worse than an asshole.
And many psychopaths are in high profile positions because they have charisma and are willing to sacrifice others at the expense of profit, or whatever it is that helps them feel above others.
Learn to read energy, not just empty words and fake smiles.
Ah halfway through i begin to understand all women are unique and special all men are the same and dont understand. Got it
Lol yup. Same shit, different word salad
