it's safe to say that "the much smaller market of #transhumanist funeral rites" was not a sentence i ever expected to see in my life

i feel like i owe the #EpsteinFiles a heavy debt for exposing me to these kinds of literary experiences.

**Unearthed Epstein emails contradict friends' claims they were unaware of crimes: report**
María Teresita Armstrong‑Matta, March 26 2026 – A newly released email from AI researcher Joscha Bach, largely missed in the House Oversight Committee’s dump of Jeffrey Epstein files, shows that members of Epstein’s network not only maintained contact with him after his 2019 arrest but also explicitly recognized his illicit behavior.

Bach, who became financially dependent on Epstein after moving to MIT in 2013, details in the correspondence how Epstein covered his $6,500 monthly rent, tuition and travel costs. In the email, Bach admits that colleagues “compartmentalize the topic” of Epstein’s misconduct, describing it as “interestingly dark and edgy.” He also analyzes Epstein’s misogyny, noting that while Epstein was attracted to women, he regarded them as less trustworthy than men. After Epstein’s arrest, Bach’s message expresses personal concern for Epstein’s well‑being rather than for the victims.

The revelation undermines the long‑standing narrative pushed by some of Epstein’s former acquaintances that they were oblivious to his crimes. By documenting direct acknowledgment of the abuse, the email adds weight to investigations into how far the “compartmentalization” strategy extended within Epstein’s circle and raises fresh questions about the responsibility of those who continued to benefit from his patronage.

yahoo news | Under-the-radar Epstein email smashes friends' claims they didn't know of...

**Paragraph 1**
A newly highlighted email between MIT‑Media‑Lab fellow Joscha Bach and Jeffrey Epstein reveals how closely the convicted sex‑trafficker was intertwined with the professional lives of some of his former benefactors. The message, dated February 2019 after Epstein’s arrest, opens with Bach wishing Epstein “well” despite the “current turmoils,” and then plainly states that their shared research funds have dwindled to $11,000. In doing so, Bach acknowledges the accusations against Epstein and offers a candid assessment of why many of Epstein’s acquaintances seemed able to “compartmentalize” or ignore the abuse, treating it as an “interestingly dark and edgy” side‑note rather than a moral violation.

**Paragraph 2**
The email is part of a broader pattern uncovered in the sprawling court filings that show Epstein’s financial support extended beyond simple donations. While figures such as former Treasury secretary Larry Summers and longevity expert Peter Attia have been documented emailing Epstein about press coverage of his crimes, Bach’s correspondence also details the practical dependence he cultivated: forwarding flight requests, tuition invoices, and $6,500‑a‑month rent bills to Epstein’s office for payment. This reliance created a “beneficiary” relationship that allowed Epstein to maintain a network of influential friends who could publicly deny any knowledge of his systematic exploitation of minors.

**Paragraph 3**
Journalist Anand Giridharadas argues that Bach’s note is singular because it not only admits awareness of Epstein’s alleged misconduct but also calls out the broader social habit of “dominance over women” that Epstein pursued. Bach writes that Epstein seemed to “attract” women only insofar as they were useful, treating them as inherently less trustworthy than men. By confronting Epstein directly about these uncomfortable truths, Bach broke the unspoken code of silence that protected the financier’s allies, offering a rare glimpse into the inner rationalizations that allowed Epstein’s abuse to persist unchecked.

Wer immer noch behauptet, Joscha Bach hätte ja von Epsteins Machenschaften nichts wissen können...schaut mal.

Hier mal was Joscha Bach sagt. Ist allerdings schon im November geschrieben, vor dem Sturm in Deutschland. Mir kommt es ein wenig wie Framing vor („Diskussion mit radikaler Offenheit“) und erklärt auch nicht seine Aussagen über Frauen in #MINT-Berufen.
