Went through a phase reading Steven Pinker in my mid-teens and now that I look back, what a waste of fucking time.

Conspiracies aren't real goyim the simple mainstream narrative is always right

>In 2007, when Epstein was first indicted for procuring a minor for prostitution, Pinker "provided his expertise on language" for Epstein's defense, according to The New York Times.

>Investigators interviewed two eyewitnesses, and two other witnesses who immediately spoke with the unnamed woman. The witnesses described the woman as troubled and shocked. The woman told investigators that "she did not feel victimized, felt it was a clumsy interpersonal interaction and thought she had handled it in the moment."[4] ASU found that the preponderance of evidence suggested that Krauss had violated the university's policy against sexual harassment by grabbing a woman's breast without her permission.[30][31] As a result, Krauss was not renewed as Director of the Origins Project and the University moved its staff to a project run by planetary scientist Lindy Elkins-Tanton, formally ending the Origins project.[32]

>In response to the University determination, Krauss produced a 51-page appeal [read: COPE] document responding to the allegations, including a counter-claim that a photo claimed to be of Krauss grabbing a woman's breast was actually showing his hand moving away from the woman.[33]

>Several organizations also canceled scheduled talks by Krauss.[26] Krauss resigned from the position of chair of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Board of Sponsors when informed that its other members felt his presence was distracting "from the ability of the Bulletin to effectively carry out [its] work".[34][35]

>Krauss retired from ASU at the end of the 2018–2019 academic year.[36]

Reputation and legacy has been destroyed, and he will not be working ever again.
