>>24893721>has infinite money, a hebe harem, and a ton of rich friends>needs book about overcoming depression

>>24893721>autistic about maths and plants>taoist foreplay>stock investing for dummies and bitcoin for dummies>hitler biography>obsessed with the guy known for lolita>literary essays on the presence of shit in western literature
>>24894004In the time one reads like eight pop-math books, he can actually like, learn real mathematics and not so uselessly waste their time. Fucking pseuds.
>Epstein was a prosefagNot surprised
>>24894017Yeah, all of these books are pop-*whatever*.Lots of "the hidden history of", "the untold story of", etc. If someone I knew bought these I would think a little bit less of them. Just a little bit per book.I've read that his scientific understanding was incredibly poor, but he thought of himself as a scientific innovator. There's one story from a scientist who knew him where he would often get flustered by simple questions he couldn't answer at his scientific dinners, and deflect away from it by saying "but what does any of this have to do with pussy?!"Anyway, looks like a list full of schlock. Also he's managed to put together a hit list of some of the most stereotypically secular Jewish reading imaginable. I can imagine /pol/ coming up with half of these.
>has infinite money>reads pop finance booksidgi
>>24893721I find it hilarious that he was a Flashman enjoyer
>>24893721It's a very good ressource for getting a basic understanding of his psychology, but I believe something is lost by organizing them by category and not date of purchase
>>24893721I got somewhat interested in that evolve your brain book and then after looking the author up is just another self-help retard, you guys know an actual neuro book written by actual scientist?
The reading list of an incorrigible midwit with some or other form of pathological sexual neurosis. So, Epstein.
>>24894622Would've thought he was at least a bit smarter. I don't know shit about him except the obvious ofc. There's also something interesting in his visibly frustrated desire to be intelligent
>>24893800Reading Finnegans Wake does that to you
Good evidence that Epstein didn't make any of his own money and was just a willing vehicle for powers beyond his control or full comprehension.Rise and Kill First must be better than I thought.
>>24893721Really interesting he has a few books on the Panama papers. Wonder what his interest and experience was with that level of tax evasion.
>>24894714He just payed someone else to do it. Epstein was basically an employee. Ghislaine Maxwell is far more competent
>>24894762Epsteins financial expertise was tax laws supposedly to the side of wealth management. And the Barak emails show him being top dog in many regards, not an employee.
>5 books on Woody AllenKek
?
this is all good evidence that to get Rich all you need is to embezzle 1 guy's company and commit tax fraud. Then to get popular just fake your art, your wealth, your status and repeat the lies enough>>24894845he was his neighbour in NYC
>>24894664It's vindicated Ryan Johnson to an eerie degree lol, in retrospect Glass Onion was remarkably on point.
>>24894017>In the time one reads like eight pop-math booksThe thing is that it isn't only about time but also about effort.
>>24893721But did he read them?
>>24894664>There's also something interesting in his visibly frustrated desire to be intelligentThis is something many of the mega wealthy with too much free time do. Musk is probably the worst offender of this with how he inserts himself to every field that he knows absolutely nothing about. Musk wants to be seen as an engineer, a programmer, a rocket scientist, an expert on roman history, an elite gamer, a literary critic, a political theorist among other things, but when you inspect anything he says on any topic it's fucking retarded every time. Guys like Bill Gates and Zuckerberg do a similar thing but they're not as outwardly retarded as Musk is. It's funny how these guys have the same personality is 4chan pseuds that want to be seen as intelligent.
>>24894922It's even sadder because they have more resources and more free time than the average man, and could afford to speak with the greatest teachers and experts in every field but choose to talk out of their ass instead. These guys are 1000 times less respectable than the worst retard on 4chan.
>>24894940It is noteworthy that Epstein did have close correspondence with a lot of academics. Mostly popsci people like Lawrence Krauss, but Noam Chomsky of all people also appears a lot in the email correspondence.
>>24894860What a load of shite!
>>24893721I own ten of these and I have over 3,000 books
>>24894971>Lawrence Kraussthat fucking gremlin? figures....
