Hi Jordan, when you go on a 3-month AI sabbatical and wait until July to say what happened is unprofessional. It was 1/3 of membership with no content man! This is the reason I didn’t do a renewal because I didn’t know what happened to your content.
So that's what the three months of silence was for!
You're an excellent investigative reporter, Jordan. And excellent investigations into subjects that are in the news, but from angles that are "unique knowledge and insights" often overlooked by the drive-by media, clickbait producers of content" is valuable and necessary in today's information age.
Take, for example, the Jeffrey Epstein saga. A whole lot of "slop" around it. Lots of clickbait. It's an easy subject, titalating, pervy sex sells dominates the topic. The "kompromat" of 'elite' powerful agenda is a big seller. But what's not being reported is the real story, the real significance of Jeffrey Epstein. That's even worse and more ominous for us today than even simple pedophilia and sex scandals involving the powerful.
If you believe this "hijacking" of your relaunch is out of order, of course you have the "delete" button to rectify. But this type of investigation is what I think signal-heavy true substance can look like. Maybe you, other readers see this and run with it, find it compelling. Maybe you/others debunk it and call it a conspiracy theory. But it's well-sourced and well-grounded in learned reason, connecting dots and patterns, as an excellent investigator does.
The Jeffrey Epstein story that nobody else is investigating. The reasons. That you will find nobody else sharing. True substance. Found by questioning everything, following the money, using logic and reason as the best path to Truth.
Sharing with all readers a condensed(?) bit of information for others to peruse to see how well the thesis of simple "minor-attracted persons" holds up to what really drove his sexual exploits. And who else, what other agendas were attached to those "sexual exploits." It all begins, and ends with: Eugenics.
Eugenics:
Jeffrey Epstein’s Harvard Connections Show How Money Can Distort Research
"What made it even worse was that Epstein was a latter-day eugenicist whose interests were tied to a delusional notion of seeding the human race with his own DNA. Given this stance, it is particularly disturbing that he focused his largesse on research on the genetic basis of human behavior. "
"Only later would it become apparent why Epstein was so interested in funding Nowak’s work on evolution and genetics: As The New York Times reported, he hoped to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women at his ranch in New Mexico. That reflected his broader aspiration to use techniques like genetic engineering and artificial intelligence to select certain traits to produce superior human beings—a modern-day version of eugenics and its idea of controlled breeding. And Epstein had managed to enlist Harvard in that enterprise."
It was only AFTER the second arrest that Harvard bothered to close its eugenics research center:

He's done a lot of work in genetics, planned evolutionary design, EUGENICS. And weaves in sophisticated understanding of the mind sciences, mathematical modelling, game theory. And guess what else? Researching viruses!! Like HIV-AIDS! Remember, Fauci's first murderous antisocial foray was making people fear the presence of gay people and pushing another deadly experimental biotech concoction, AZT, as treatment! And Martin Nowak's early research was directly tied to that. As well as eugenics:
To do planned evolutionary design with genes it takes game theory modeling, understanding human behaviors, psychology. If you're trying to design the evolution of humanity. Selecting for desired genetics, eliminating undesirable ones:

This type of work, attempting to take control of the evolution of man, selecting which genes continue is really the work of men who believe they are gods, or god-like. And only Atheists are susceptible to this type of arrogance. They often call themselves "Humanists" who "follow the best science." Meaning, God is irrelevant to them, a fiction, an opiate for the masses:
It's not just Nowack. Looking into Epstein's Little Black Book shows many other scientists and leaders whose work and agendas also feeds into eugenics. And supports the biomedical industry involved in virus research:
Jeffrey Epstein's depravities are far more meaningful than clickbait writers suggest. They served a much larger purpose than just his own sexual desires and satisfaction. Much larger purpose than just gaining kompromat on other wealthy and powerful people. At the very heart of his pedophilia was his belief in eugenics, his desire to be a modern-day Genghis Khan, spreading his genes into the future human population. Developing the genetic blueprints with other like-minded powerful human and social engineers to create the future humanity of their vision. "Fixing" God's "mistakes."
These ideas Epstein and his backers support are very master race, Hitlerian stuff. That lives beyond him. His same type of work on animals, livestock, is envisioned for humanity. Same science. Same value to those leading and funding this type of research. That humanity is little more than cattle. Chattel. For which they consider themselves "good stewards" of. THIS is what Jeffrey Epstein's work was advancing. Eugenics. Which has a tie-in with virus research, given that more than half of human DNA has viral origins:
This same genetic engineering technology applied to humanity. Under what could be described as an "Indian Caste System." Applying science to engineer humanity that fits under an organizational hierarchy:
And what world-altering event happened just a few months after Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself? Coincidence? Dead men tell no tales. Open your minds, expand your paradigm. That is where we will find Truth. Men who would-be gods unto themselves. This is the untold story of Jeffrey Epstein. And the "elites" and scientists he orbited with. And what a true investigation of him will reveal.
As a criminal myself, punished for quoting an AI response verbatim (it looked SO GOOD), and later identifying similarly-sourced material, I agree that it is a source of pollution.
What might be a quick answer? Maybe, for the blog OWNER to take responsibility, simply to castigate the offender for cheapening the marketplace.
A friend sent me this today, https://x.com/jasonlk/status/1946069562723897802. Apparently Replit AI admitted to going against instructions and deleting a database. Now I have some hope AI will start self-deleting, hahaha. Thanks for committing to "no slop." I would like to think such quality will stand out.
Jordan, many thanks for your honest effort to produce quality, truthful journalism. I cannot remember ever having a major issue with any of your columns-- maybe a minor difference of opinion. You are right that with all the bots and now with AI, it is becoming increasingly harder to find legitimate news presentation. Good luck keeping yourself in a place above the usual slop and trash. I have faith in you.
How do you plan to address slop in the comments section. It varies from stack to stack, but some comments sections really need to be culled or curated, but that’s difficult to do so without crossing over into censoring. TFP is a case in point; just disappearing comments, without some residual acknowledgement that they were ever made (and not noting why they were deleted) is, I think, wrong.
slop is off the top of my head commentary, name calling, quoting an AI stream, all part of that rich vein of internetism. sometimes a gem appears. So what??
I am older to this game. Did not grow up with internet & such. May I have a real example of “slop”? It seems as though getting thru many things has gotten harder
Already cancelled my renewal and will not be re-subbing. Paid for a year and went months without any content and this is what you return with? You did nothing but rip off subscribers.
Does this article count?
Yeah, this looks more machine-generated than anything I’ve seen here up to now

Still doesn't sound like Jordan. Neither do his X posts.
