It’s Time To Talk About Epstein (again)

The gist

1. Institutions could defuse many conspiracy theories by directly answering specific technical questions, but their silence creates a credibility vacuum that speculation fills.
2. Epstein's forensic evidence has real inconsistencies, including a hyoid bone fracture more consistent with homicide than suicide and a will changed days before his death.
3. Conspiracy communities become social hierarchies where members compete to find the most extreme interpretation, pushing reasonable skepticism toward unfalsifiable claims.
4. Government inefficiency makes large-scale secret operations hard to sustain because the more people involved, the more likely a leak becomes.
