Epstein & Us: Same Game, Different Teams? (Understanding the World of Elite Power Politics)

Malcolm and Simone Collins go deep into the newly released Epstein files and discover something uncomfortable: Epstein was obsessed with many of the same ideas they are — gene editing, artificial wombs, human genetic enhancement, AI, fertility maximization, alternate governance, and “playing to win” civilizationally.

So why do they sound so similar on paper… yet feel morally opposite?

In this episode the Collinses explain the real divide in elite power networks (it’s not left vs. right), why Epstein could never break into the Thiel/Musk/Schmidt circles, the two actual factions fighting for the future (space cowboys vs. hidden thrones), and why Epstein’s version of the game ended in baby-killing and microtransaction brainwashing while theirs is about open, transparent, high-fertility, high-agency humanity.

Episode Transcript

Malcolm Collins: [00:00:00] Hello Simone. I’m excited to be here with you today.

Today is an episode. I have been so jonesing to do, so excited to do because as the Epstein files have continued to be comb through by people, a lot of people, what they are, noting is Epstein in terms of the world views he had in terms of some of the people who he rubbed shoulders with is very similar from an outside perspective, from a fuzzy, like a grease on the limbs perspective to us,

Simone Collins: no

Malcolm Collins: pedal.

So just as a few examples here, so like if it, because Tim Poole had an episode where he did a very good job going over like the dark transhumanism of Epstein. And you know, they’re pointing out, obviously the one that a lot of people know about is the farm where he was gonna have impregnate 21 and they were just gonna have lots of his kids.

Simone Collins: It wasn’t a farm, it was a large ranch compound in New Mexico.

Malcolm Collins: Well it [00:01:00] sounds a lot like a human farm to me, Simone. Yeah, you can, you can call it what you want. You

Simone Collins: didn’t know how to make things sound so charming,

Malcolm Collins: That he was working on and funding. Human journaling, gene editing research editing human genetics.

He was looking at how to upload human sentient to machines so that he could live longer. He was interested in alternate forms of governance structure.

Simone Collins: Oh no,

Malcolm Collins: he was interested in people who, who’ve known it. It broke from the guardian that we had we’re working on a plan to create a charter city essentially a independent region.

Simone Collins: He did not really,

Malcolm Collins: no. That we were going to not Oh, that we

Simone Collins: were, yeah. We,

Malcolm Collins: we were going to, we were, yes. But he was also working on similar ideas.

Simone Collins: Oh.

Malcolm Collins: That and with some people who even we’ve talked to that he was looking at. AI safety related stuff. My God.

And how a, oh, he was [00:02:00] even working on ai sex bots. Which, you know, we’ve created with R Fab ai. So we look at these various projects. And PE people see this, right? And they go, you guys, you guys seem to work on a lot of the same stuff, like, what’s going on here? And before I go into the specifics, because I really wanna go into the, the specifics of what he actually said, not what people are saying about what he said, because I think a lot of the Epstein stuff goes through a bit of a game of telephone and you just get a vague idea of what was scandalous.

Instead of you’re like, oh, this is what he was saying to Nick Bostrom, he knew Nick Bostrom. You know, you know, you’re like, okay, okay, okay. This is more I can, I can see where this conversation went this way. Oh boy. But before we get into that stuff, I wanna get into the broader claims here because I think that what we’re actually looking at is a lot of people.

Who are blinded, by the way, [00:03:00] our society sort of functions in terms of the plebs as teams with it being the the right-leaning team and the left-leaning team, right? Mm-hmm. Like this is the two big teams that the pledge see, and what the plebs are unaware of, broadly speaking, is that that is not. The way things are actually divided in elite society.

Those are not the actual two teams that are out there. Each team basically has their players and their players are distributed throughout each of the various ecosystems. Hmm. You know, this is why at a lot of people, I’ve always said, you know, Steve Bannon, he’s not on our side guys. He’s not on our side of the guys.

And people at the beginning they were like, oh, you’re really undercounting Steve Bannon. It turns out he’s besties was Jeffey. Right. Like, and he worked really hard and spent a lot of money and time. I think there’s 22 hours of footage of him trying to create a [00:04:00] documentary to rehabilitate Epstein’s image after he was confirmed the underage, next trafficking

Simone Collins: don’t do that. No.

Malcolm Collins: Now with the point being is you look at these networks and you can see if you’re aware of the elite networks that like we are in Es, Epstein was almost sort of weirdly never able to successfully break into that side of the network. Mm-hmm. He was never really able to do anything with Peter Thiel.

Never really able to do anything. Provable with Elon. He was never able to. By the way, fun, Epstein fact that’s come out recently is it looks like Donald Trump was actually one of the very first Epstein whistleblowers which has come out in some of the newer Epstein files, which people are being like, this is absolutely wild.

And, and, and not only that, but remember how we keep saying it looks like Epstein, like genuinely hates Donald Trump and has been trying to ruin Donald Like that they were at point. Yeah, he said an for a

Simone Collins: very

Malcolm Collins: long time. Time. But for the vast majority of this [00:05:00] period, it has been Epstein. The reason why we know now it was because Epstein believed when the early arrest started happening and everything like that.

That the, the process, the process that ended up with Epstein in jail and Unli began was Donald Trump going to authorities about him.

Simone Collins: Really? So he was the, did, did Trump bringing things up actually ignite anything?

Malcolm Collins: It appears to have been part of what got the ball rolling. ‘cause he was the first like super famous person to push on it.

Simone Collins: Oh wow. Okay. Which I didn’t realize

Malcolm Collins: he was, which is a wild timeline to be living in. No, I’m not saying that Trump didn’t do horrible sex stuff as well and the creepy comments he made about like the Miss Universe pageant and stuff like that. But the, but the point I’m making here. Broadly speaking is that there actually are elite networks, but the elite networks don’t operate the way that the average conspiracy theorist seems to [00:06:00] think that they operate.

Hmm. In fact, the types of secret societies that you and I have, you know, provably been involved with Epstein was never invited to any of those. He never got into any of those. He was never able to infiltrate those. And the question is, is like, why? What’s going on here? Right? Like, that seems weird. He, did he

Simone Collins: also never go to the bo?

Well, I guess you wouldn’t be able to,

Malcolm Collins: I don’t think, I do not think he ever got into the Bohemian gr
