I think there is value in how those who asked or accepted funding think about it. People who just see the cash, yeah, deplorable. People who feel conflicted about it, but can provide for their aids and families because of funding, maybe not so much. Anyone excited to go interact and associate directly, going to the island; super slimy and needs to be excommunacated from the scientific community.

    Yep which is why I highlighted that sentence in particular. You're right, there's some grey here and it's not completely black and white.

    The problem is that this kind of thing, this looking the other way in order to fund projects, helped cover Epstein's crimes for so long. Not everyone who helped is directly guilty. But this is the system that helped Epstein operate with no consequences simply because he was able to bribe people.
