BREAKING: The Epstein-tied MIT Media Lab hosted a discussion on supplying pedophiles with “child-sized sex robots” at conference on research without “moral boundaries,” saying such urges are not a “moral failing.” Previously unreported evidence indicates Epstein was directly involved. Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman was consulted about inviting Epstein to... attend. Epstein had ties to the MIT Media Lab for many years. But like many of Epstein's connections to academia, Wall Street & government, they have never been fully unspooled. 🧵show more

Epstein was a donor and alleged connection for the MIT Media Lab to Bill Gates and Leon Black. A little noticed footnote in MIT’s report about Epstein shows that MIT Media Lab Director Joi Ito asked Hoffman about inviting the pedophile to a conference he was involved with in July 2016. The conference where “child-sized sex robots” were proposed occurred in July 2016, the only conference the lab hosted that month, according to the university’s website.

This conference “without moral boundaries” including "child-sized sex robots" sparked the idea of an MIT “Disobedience Award”: A glowing orb. Epstein himself received one of these orbs. Earlier this week Tucker Carlson criticized Bill Ackman. Ackman’s wife designed the orbs and helped supply one to Epstein.

This is just one window into all of the unresolved questions about Epstein's ties to elite intuitions. MORE:

If CSM materials increase the likelihood of acting out, then those robots might aggravate the condition similarly. So "morally-neutral" might be doubly-wrong.

This is not a fundamentally terrible idea. The key question is whether it would lead to an increase or to a reduction in child abuse. (Not a study I would want to conduct, I have to say.)

@JasonJournoDC Sick f*cks.

Great work, Emily

Of course MIT is attached to this.

Great stuff!! Please keep digging!
