NOAM: For me it’s been extremely busy. I’m isolated, don’t go out, and don’t have any
visitors. Constantly occupied with interviews, requests way beyond what I can accept.
Busier than I can ever remember.

But you’re quite right. The pandemic is providing an opportunity for choices about what
kind of world will emerge from it. Very different choices.

Noam Chomsky with Jeffrey Epstein:

“The older guys usually just tell you what doesn’t work,” he asserted. “And the referees
of peer-reviewed journals have also become politically sensitive. Everybody knows who
the reviewer is that has turned them down because he’s been asking the same question
any number of times.”

Yet Epstein readily admitted to asking prominent members of the scientific

establishment to assess the potential contribution of these so-called outcasts.

“So, I had Jim Watson to the house, and I asked Watson, what does he think about this
idea,” a proposal to study how the cellular mechanisms of plants might be relevant to
human cancer. Watson is a Nobel laureate and co-discoverer of the structure of
DNA. “Likewise with [Noam] Chomsky on artificial intelligence,” he said, referring to one
of the pioneers in the field.

In fact, Epstein expressed great respect for the opinions of these elder statesmen. “It’s
funny to watch Noam Chomsky rip apart these young boys who talk about having a
thinking machine,” Epstein noted. “He takes out a dagger and slices them, very kindly,
into little shreds.”
