Epstein's 7 is an interesting article too, where the author lays out
Epstein's seven research projects and the people 'invited' to investigate and materialize them. Basically, it describes
the sophisticated coordination of people, ideas and technology to choreograph the design, construction and implantation of the global control system architecture, with Epstein flitting about like a hummingbird injecting (and extracting) ideas, projects and relationships. to make it all come together.
FWIW, I figure this kind of operation is not theory. It's real. For decades, I watched (and participated in) the gradual "re-training" of the minds of corporate "leaders" (in German, "fuhrers") via conferences, executive development, Aspen Institute type "training," thinktank publications, etc., etc.
I can also surmise how the perverted sex stuff may have got mixed in with this. The physical perversities actually mirror the ideological perversities. One involves physical abduction, raping, flaying, abuse and murder of the weaker, naive and innocent (plus subsequent feelings of superiority, power and satisfaction); the other involves the same perversions but to the abusers' minds (weak, naive, STS and uninformed), with the concomitant feelings of superiority, power and satisfaction. Flip sides of the same coin, in a sense.
I'd venture the Dodd-Frank scheme to steal everything Americans "own" was spawned by this evil intermingling set of characters. (In short, if the investment fails, the public loses. If it succeeds, the private investors profit.......i.e., socialisation of all risk and the privatisation of all return -- all coded into law.) The scheme also illustrates (frog in boiling water analogy) how the citizen is lured into
the systems theory matrix voluntarily, with an eagerness founded in ignorance and self-interest (e.g.,credit cards, airplane miles, grocery discount cards, covid behaviorism, vaccine acceptance, etc., etc.,). Each token offered by the matrix lets you take a ride on the merry-go-round, but underneath the veil is the devil's finger motioning, "Come hither, you lazy, useless, suggestible, stupid little greedy slug." And, of course, the process is punctuated with a "Gotcha!"

Epstein's Big Seven are:
- Evolutionary Code Dynamics — ‘a brand new field that encompasses, game theory, virus dynamics, (both computers and biological), cryptography, and genetics’.
- Synthetic General Intelligence — ‘encompassing, signal processing, statistical and machine learning, virtual world robots. new programming architecture. Ants termites wasps’.
- Power — ‘Its definition political, financial, intellectual, physical, includes reputation, awe, trust, deception, reciprocity. How it is used, why it is sought, group selection and behavior’.
- The World Financial System — ‘is it archaic, can you use the Internet to create a new model, social repercussions. What is value, worth, mark to market, what is money, the new debt. Computers and their effect on the system — including unemployment. Markets and sophisticated derivatives’.
- The Power Laws — ‘their derivation and possible implications. Zipf, Pareto etc. Scaling. Metabolism, human trait distributions (including intelligence), the ecology of economic systems. Their geometric equivalents.'
- Why Happiness Is Overrated — ‘cultural definitions, contentment, fulfilment, narcotics, hallucinogens, psycho-pharmaceuticals’.
- Music and the Brain — ‘is anticipation — resolution, rhythm vertical and horizontal (melody) harmonies an insight into the structure of the brain’.
John Brockman’s
Edge Foundation was already doing work that covered at least four of the topics, including the science of nudging [shaping behavior and pre-programming desired "choices"] and reading genetic code into computers, changing it, and turning it back into living organisms.
The article discusses much that UKColumn has been harping on for years, including the Palantir-type tracking of everything (genes, medical interventions, movement, $pending, agriculture, even every seed, plant and piece of fruit), and implementation of "unified ledgers" where values of things change depending on context - who holds it, where they are, what they want to use it for, and whether they’ve met whatever rules are in place. And it's all done "for the public good," with political “legitimacy” and “philanthropic” oversight, it's blessed by "moral fuhrers," and it ensures we can take moral titillation in being "good stewards" over their concept of a dead, raped earth.
