In one 2011 email, Gelernter recommended an undergraduate student to Epstein for an editorial position in part because she was a “v[ery] small goodlooking blonde”.
Fucking psychopath. Not sorry Ted blew off his jerk-off hand.
telling colleagues that he was “very glad [he] wrote the note” and that Epstein "…was obsessed with girls (like every other unmarried billionaire in Manhattan; in fact, like every other heterosex[ual] male), and if I hadn’t said what I did in that letter ten-odd years ago, he would certainly have called me & asked for a lot more aesthetic detail. (This is how men behave.)
I’m wondering why he had a job to begin with. Being against women in the workforce should preclude you from being allowed to teach women who might enter the workforce.
With professors like that, it’s no wonder that there’s a dearth of women in CS.
It’s not much better once you get into the workforce. Unfortunately. And so much of the misogyny is invisible to men until it’s pointed out to them explicitly.
But I agree:
If you believe that members of the opposite sex should not be permitted to be working, you should not be permitted to work outside of occupations which are necessarily restricted by sex.
Similarly, if you don’t think think you should have to work with brown people, disabled people, foreign people…
The boy who was in charge of my robotics club believed that girls can’t program and refused to teach or help me (I remember that I “looked too confused” to be helped out with enums….) . I remember once, I was playing with some Java code at lunch, and him and the other coders all stopped to mock how shitty a programmer I was because they saw a bunch of squiggly red lines (hadn’t loaded in all the libraries, just was curious what mobile video game coding looked like).
It was so goddamn isolating as a high schooler. Being a weirdo computer geek, but not welcome with the other weirdo computer geeks because of my sex.
it’s more “I don’t think epstein was active when the unabomber was killing people” so the dead people were visiting the island? Oh , he injured someone that went on to go to epstein island, thus , no time paradox.
I’ll rewatch it later, but the only thing I remember about him was that he learned how to use his other hand as his primary after the mail bomb blew up his dominate one. Probably the only reason he had an episode at all was the bombing.
Presumably a reference to David Gelernter for anyone else wondering.

His response to the backlash is insane.
Yeah, THAT’S normal.
For those who go down the rabbit hole:

Thanks. I tried looking at the people the Unabomber killed and I couldn’t find shit
I was wondering how a bomber could bring someone to justice before the crimes happened
I’m going to guess not all these guys suddenly became pedophiles after meeting Epstein.

I was wondering why his face looked familiar. He was featured on Big Thinkers.

What a disgusting man
