If you can’t think for yourself you can’t rebel. If you become reliant on an external brain to think for you, you will soon need it desperately. If you do not find art important, no art can move you to action. A docile, listless, addicted population is the dream of an authoritarian.

Speaking to the BBC on Tuesday, Epstein survivor Annie Farmer said: "It's hard to focus on the new information that has been brought to light because of how much damage the DOJ has done by exposing survivors in this way." Incompetence and blatant illegality on this scale becomes a cruel strategy.
