Jeffrey Epstein was obsessed with 'improving' the human race through eugenics plan
The Epstein files have revealed the late and disgraced financier was obsessed with the genetic modification of the human race.
Amongst the three million documents released by the US Department of Justice relating to Jeffrey Epstein was evidence the disgraced financier was obsessed with "improving" the human race through genetic manipulation.
Files have shown that convicted child sex offender Epstein was fascinated with “transhumanism”, a branch of philosophy that incorporates eugenicist ideas and artificial intelligence, and was once in advanced discussions about funding a gene-editing company.
Epstein - who was first convicted in 2008 - wrote an email to linguist Noam Chomsky in 2016 which revealed his belief that African-Americans are genetically predisposed to be less intellectually developed than Caucasians.
The email stated: "The test score gap amongst African Americans is well documented ... Making things better might require accepting some uncomfortable facts."
An email conversation with German cognitive scientist Joscha Bach - who has been at the forefront of AI - reveals Epstein was interested in the possibility of genetically modifying black people to make them “smarter”.
In one message written to Epstein in July 2016, Bach wrote “if I understand correctly, you are suggesting [...] you might be able to make blacks smarter by changing the time for motor layer development."
The Epstein files also show he was fascinated by the possibility of genetically-engineered children and cloning.
Included within the documents is an 2018 email exchange with Bryan Bishop, a cryptocurrency entrepreneur who was looking for funding for a “designer-baby project”.
Epstein - who took his own life in August 2019 a month after he was charged with the sex trafficking of minors - wrote: “i have no issue with investing the problem is only if i am seen to lead. [sic]”
