How I would summarize it all is that was something that spiraled totally out of control

through a massive confluence of political, cultural, and other factors.

The train has left the station and it's impossible in my experience to reason with people

who have been wedded to these quasi theological beliefs around the Epstein saga.

And also, most people aren't looking through the details,

so they are not equipped to understand

why so much of what they're being told is overblown.

Because I've always tried to be as steadfastly evidence

and fact-based as possible.

Whereas the people who tend to most flamboyantly disagree with me

really seem to have no concern whatsoever

for remaining tethered to the facts

and they would rather just enjoy their excitable theories. Nothing was ever proven about Prince Andrew. People think that a

photo of him purportedly with Virginia Roberts Gouffray and Galane Maxwell in Belgravia, London in

March of 2001 is like ipso facto proof that he committed child sex crimes? I mean, like, what are we talking about here?

Unfortunately, as long as Britain has the Online Safety Act, there's a hell of a lot

on the internet that's been hidden from you right now. But what if I told you, there's an easy,

simple way to beat the sensors. The good news is that thanks to our partner's private internet access,

or PIA, for short, you can access tons of content that the government doesn't want you to see.

PIA is the VPN I Use and Trust.

In case you don't know, a VPN or virtual private network is an app that hides your IP address and safeguards your internet connection through an encrypted tunnel.
