D***head: Epstein wanted his head and penis frozen

Jeffrey Epstein hoped to leave the human race a few parting gifts after he died, including his head, his penis and his DNA.

Multiple sources tell The New York Times that over the years, Epstein revealed to scientists and close friends that he 'hoped to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women at his vast New Mexico ranch.'

A NASA scientist who attended one of Epstein's dinners after he served time for soliciting a minor said that the disgraced moneyman had based this idea on the Repository for Germinal Choice.

That was a bank which had been created with the intent of only accepting the DNA of Nobel prize winners, and ultimately closed down after getting a single submission.

Some suspected that Epstein's dinners were a ploy to kick-start his plan, gathering attractive college-educated women who he saw as candidates to carry his offspring.

Epstein also told one person that upon his death, 'he wanted his head and penis to be frozen' and donated to charities that supported transhumanism, the belief that the human race can further advance and evolve using advancements from the worlds of science.

Dozens of acquaintances - including one of Epstein's former defense attorneys - told the Times this was all fueled by his veiled fascination for eugenics, the idea that the human race could be improved through selective breeding.

Epstein mingled with the cream of the scientific community, and was heavily involved in many scientific pursuits.

He called himself a 'scientific philanthropist', donating a rumored $20 million a year, and hosting parties in the US and on the Virgin Islands, inviting stars such as:

Murray Gell-Mann, the American physicist who discovered quark particles

Stephen Hawking, the British physicist, for whom he build a custom-made submarine so he could go under water on his private island

Stephen J. Gould, evolutionary biologist

Oliver Sacks, neurologist and author

George M. Church, a molecular engineer dedicated to creating superior humans

Epstein funded a myriad of research units - both legitimate and dubious.

The paper trail is inconsistent: though such funding should be declared publicly to the IRS, there are not records to cover all of Epstein's supposed gifts. But he boasted about them in press releases put out by the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation.

What is clear is that he funded:

The revered Santa Fe Institute, which received $25,000 from Epstein in 2010

MIT, which received $50,000 in 2012

The Melanoma Research Alliance, which received an unspecified 'pivotal donation' in 2012

Princeton University

Columbia University

New York University

Cornell University

Pepperdine University

Ohio State University

Stanford University

UCLA

Rockefeller University

Penn University

He also donated $20,000 to the Worldwide Transhumanist Association, the world's largest transhumanist group, which now goes by Humanity+, and paid the $100,000 salary of its vice chairman, Ben Goertzel.

And according to the Times, one of his businesses, Southern Trust Company, was 'engaged in DNA analysis', though it is unclear in what capacity.

Epstein's generosity reduced some top-ranked scientists to wonder.

Professor Martin Nowak, who ran the Evolutionary Dynamics program at Harvard that Epstein helped set up with a $6.5 million donation, gushed to New York Magazine in 2002: 'Jeffrey has the mind of a physicist. It's like talking to a colleague in your field.'

Epstein used to gather scientists together at events that he funded. He is pictured here with one of his long-time supporters, theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss (center), who recently vacated his post at Arizona State University over sexual assault allegations, and one of his long-time skeptics, Harvard cognitive psychologist Steven Pinker (right), who said he declined Epstein's money and sees him as an 'intellectual imposter'

Lawrence Krauss, a theoretical physicist who organized a gravity conference on Epstein's private 78-acre island - and who recently vacated his role at Arizona State University over sexual assault allegations - defended Epstein through his scandals.

In 2011, after Epstein's quiet conviction in Florida, Krauss told the Daily Beast: 'As a scientist I always judge things on empirical evidence and he always has women ages 19 to 23 around him, but I've never seen anything else, so as a scientist, my presumption is that whatever the problems were I would believe him over other people.'

Others were not so enamored.

Harvard cognitive psychologist Steven Pinker - who described Epstein to the Times as an 'intellectual imposter' - described distancing himself from the mogul as he learned about his penchant for pseudoscience.

Pinker told the Times that Epstein bragged about funding research 'to identify a mysterious particle that might trigger the feeling that someone is watching you'.

On another occasion at Harvard, Pinker recalled, Epstein slammed research and policies to improved health care for the impoverished because he believed that fueled overpopulation.

THE FRINGE, TABOO SCIENCE JEFFREY EPSTEIN SUBSCRIBED TO TRANSHUMANISM The idea that technology can be used to help humans transcend their natural limitations. Through technology, transhumanists believe, we can control evolution. The idea is that humans have been improving nature by developing technology - taming it to function better. Famous transhumanist David Pearce, co-founder of the largest transhumanist organization Humanity+ which was funded by Epstein, says: 'If we want to live in paradise, we will have to engineer it ourselves. 'If we want eternal life, then we'll need to rewrite our bug-ridden genetic code and become god-like … only hi-tech solutions can ever eradicate suffering from the world. 'Compassion alone is not enough.' EUGENICS Eugenics was a term and philosophy coined by a British scientist, Francis Galton, in 1883. Galton said: 'A stop should be put to the production of families of children likely to include degenerates.' He spurred a movement that used scientific research to justify forced sterilization and racism. The pioneers of the movement were researchers at Cold Spring Harbor in Long Island, New York, who won an award from the Nazis for inspiring them, before the Holocaust. Charles Davenport, a respected biologist in the late 1800s who taught eugenics at Cold Spring Harbor, believed we should encourage the procreation of Germans, who he saw as 'thrifty, intelligent, and honest' over Irish, who he deemed to have 'considerable mental defectiveness.' In 1927, the US Supreme Court declared eugenics was justified. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendall Holmes said that 'three generations of imbeciles are enough' when he agreed that a woman, Carrie Buck, should be sterilized for being deemed 'feeble-minded'. It has since transpired that Buck was framed so that the state of Virginia (and others) could be justified in forcibly sterilizing tens of thousands of people based on their perceived intelligence. The laws remain on the books in the US. Advertisement
