I've never heard of dinocon, I'm not interested, nor am I interested in paleontology, but now I want to go. Best advertisement ever.

A pretty huge amount of people on the epstein files though are just individuals who were emailing regarding grants, donations, etc

Which is extremely normal, they just email all rich benefactors known for donating to causes.

Id expect like over half the names in the files just fall under that category...

The difference here is that they continued to engage in correspondence after his conviction.

Re-read the note they put. It's people who continued to email the org and ask for money and shit after Epstein was convicted

These are people who did not give a fuck and continued to work with a rapist

Oh there are absolutely people in this very thread who don't understand why it's immoral to continue to do business with a rapist as long as it's in pursuit of science.

I don't think being wrongfully persecuted for being in the Epstein files is a thing. It's kinda the point of the meme that plenty of scientists did go on his plane and to his island. And some of those emails from scientists were commiserating over how "me too has gone too far".

But sure, not all scientists....

There absolutely are some cases of people who were in there, pre-conviction, simply for such reasons. Had nothing to do with the pedo stuff, never were on planes, merely were just emailing for whatever normal reason.

But idiots in the public can't distinguish such things.

However others have corrected me here in that these are scientests who were emailing after the conviction which is a valid reason to ban them yeah
