Pseudo-intellectual aka bullshitter. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pseudo-intellectu... computation does not involve defending against interception, a key area for biological systems, . He is confused about software/programming/hacking. Hacking absolutely involves intercepting messages e.g., man in the middle attack. I have no idea what he thinks biological systems is; does he think that bacteria/viruses…
biology is all about thermodynamics. Why do you think we eat?

> end of story. Is it? Here's another version I like even more that unsettles democracy dogmatics: power attracts the corrupt.
Shouldn't it unsettle King dogmatics just as much?
Not really, because aristocrats and monarchs don't seek power in most systems; rather, they're simply born into it. Those modes of government don't actively select for the power-hungry.
(Granted, in e.g. the Ottoman Empire and Imperial China, it was frequently the case that there were dozens of princelings who were, de facto, pitted against each other in contests for the throne. That definitely selected for ambition, brutality, and a willingness to get one's hands dirty.)

#185Power corrupts, end of story. Democracy (limited terms), taxation and anti-monopoly regulation are examples that show a path to cure the disease. Nobody should be trusted with too much power for too long.
There is another saying from Robert Caro: "Power doesn't corrupt, it reveals". The more power, the more their flaws are amplified.

Hey. Fuck them. At least most of us are not greedy corrupt fucks. Or died in prison as a consequence of our own sins.

When he was alive a lot of people said Epstein was really smart. But I have read some of his emails, and all of the ones I have seen are full of spelling, punctuation, grammar and capitalization errors. I would not gotten out of sixth grade if I wrote like that.
It has to be a "my time is worth more than your time" flex.

I mean, it depends what you mean by "engagements." He was invited to meet Epstein via an intermediary -- but he blew off the invitation and never had any contact with Epstein.
In general, Epstein was fond of "collecting" scientists who might entertain his clientele and house guests at parties.

In theory, born into it. That was just a foil to put an air of legitimacy over the institution.
In the real world, there was (and is!) an incredible power game over who decides over what, who gets to live, who must abdicate, how much the real power lies with the King and how much with aristocracy or the Church and so on. It's a constant rebalancing of power factors.
