A series of talks in the Epstein documents - awful.systems

Does anyone know what this June 2019 text from Epstein [https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00508126.pdf] is about? I have added some links to RationalWiki and Wikipedia but not corrected spelling. Was it at one of the institutions he sponsored like MIT Media Lab? Or more like his conference in the Virgin Islands? It seems to mix mainstream figures and people in the Libertarian/LessWrong network. Another correspondent in 2016 suggested inviting Scott Alexander Siskind [https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00824072.pdf] to speak at a different event Epstein was involved in. The correspondent has a Substack [https://joscha.substack.com/p/on-the-jeffrey-epstein-affair] which cites Siskind in 2025. Obviously just because Epstein had heard of a public figure does not mean that they knew him.

This is Nathan Wolfe. Nathan is a virus hunter. Nathan has a bit of a reputation. Through the years, I've told multiple journalists stories I've heard, like "Nathan thanks Jeffrey Epstein in his book." Somehow no one ever wrote anything up. Want to see what Nathan was up to in today's Epstein files?

Bluesky Social
This is not the worst academics and pundits in Epstein’s network, this virologist named Nathan Wolfe is new to me. If an American academic had their career ended by fraud or misconduct there is a good chance that he or she was trying to make nice with Epstein afterwards.

Risk and limitations: the study is inherently risky. While it is highly likely that STIs that alter female sexual behavior exist in the wider mammalian order, whether or not they current infect humans remains unclear. Challenges exist in successfully culturing newly identified STIs and adapting microbes to standardized lab models for testing. Finally, any new STIs will be relatively easy to test for efficacy in animals but costly and otherwise challenging to test in humans, and it is possible that success in animal models will not translate into human efficacy. Risks can be mitigated by simultaneously conducting animal and human studies, increasing the probability of identifying at least a single mammalian agent that modifies female sexual behavior.

Fucking terrifying.

jesus fucking christ the depravity never ends. and there’s still three million more files of this bullshit
Also a plot point in the erotic horror comics I linked a few weeks ago!
Just find naturally horny women FFS!
Harder than you think if you’re a cutting edge chud
But those would be willing and a subset of all women, that doesnt fit the domination fantasy. All women they desire must be had, or they feel unfulfilled. (See also the “everybody is 12” theory).
Oh, I forgot how bad men can be when it comes to women’s sexuality. It often seems like if their dream woman would be a complete asexual, who also willing to have sex with them with the frequency of a hypersexual.
Yeah an ace person will never leave you for someone who they find more sexually attractive. (The ‘divorced’ energy of these people is often off the scale, but they literally will invent a horny std before going to therapy).
If the plan is to make women want sex with you by giving them the horny virus, why make it so you have to have sex to infect them in the first place? Why not engineer an airborne virus so you can just mist it on the victim? This supervillain plan makes no sense even if you ignore how depraved and evil it is.

I assume because they are not satisfied with the frequency, and they are all also divorced or afraid of it. (Or tired of the people they abuse not being into it). But it still makes no sense.

Also when the origins of the virus get discovered your head will end up on a pike, Judith Slaying Holofernes style.

Technically you could transmit it consensually but anyone consenting to something like that is freaky enough you probably wouldn’t have to infect them with horny disease anyway.
