5. It is incredible the degree to which a dead man is driving the insanity.

A point Scott Galloway makes regularly these days.

For example, in a recent Raging Moderates episode (that had a whole lot of other good stuff in it).

Around 28.24, as Scott mentions the massive market manipulation that is going hand-in-hand with trump’s chaotic actions. His thesis is that there's a group of people, armed with AI, that know that every 71 to 74 hours, as soon as Epstein starts to creep back into the news cycle, the regime comes up with a series of ridiculous actions that will take the media's gaze off Epstein.
