Reading: Jeffrey Epstein spent over $500,000 to fund never-completed episodes of a PBS science series the year before sex trafficking charges cnb.cx/2PiV2zs and look - a nice $50,000 to the Edge Foundation fm.cnbc.com/applications/c cc: @xeni
And remember Jeffrey Epstein funded various "transhumanist" groups in connection with his goal to seed the planet with his sperm thecut.com/2019/08/what-i theguardian.com/us-news/2019/a and thus the 100K donation for "humanity plus" should surprise nobody
And who else has been one of the biggest pushers of "transhumanism" - George Church - e.g bigthink.com/surprising-sci , who was also funded by Epstein
And Church explained away his connections to Epstein as a case of "nerd tunnel vision" theverge.com/2019/9/19/2087 - so if you think Church's plans for a DNA dating service has no possible downside, I suggest you think again
And if you want to dig deeper into the ties between Humanity Plus and George Church and other ethically dubious "transhumanism" activities see technologyreview.com/s/612838/the-t by @Antonio Regalado and also geneticsandsociety.org/biopolitical-t
And here is Humanity Plus magazine in 2013 promoting Jeffrey Epstein as a great benefactor of science hplusmagazine.com/2013/11/14/jef
