told you that one of the tells that we live in a simulation is character reuse? Not just code reuse, but specifically characters. Let me give you an example. This is from my real life. I think I could tell this story, and I can't tell this story well. Suffice to say a weird coincidence happened in my personal life that the same people keep popping up in all kinds of different contexts. So there's one person who popped up in one context who I knew from another context, and it was just a weird coincidence. But what are the odds that a case of this magnitude would have somebody from the known set of characters on it?

I think the answer is usually pretty good because in Washington, isn't every high-end lawyer related to a politician or married to one or used to work for one? Yeah, I think in some places you would expect these kinds of coincidences. Not really a big coincidence because everybody who goes into law has some kind of connection to somebody important, it seems like.

Anyway, I guess the judge is not going to allow the case to be televised, and there's speculation that they're protecting the elite pedophiles. I don't think that's why. If I had to guess it would be this. Now it could be just a general feeling that they don't want to make a spectacle out of the case. That'd be a good enough reason for me. But the other reason might be that a lot of names are going to come up associated with Ghislaine Maxwell and with Epstein, and they're not all guilty. You know what I mean?

I do genuinely think that he associated with people who were not necessarily doing any crimes. They might have just run into him, didn't know what was going on, interacted with them longer than they should have. Bill Gates, for example, might be one of those. So I would think that a smart judge would want to close the proceedings just because lots of names would come up without a
