Here’s the first few paragraphs of a well-written piece about the effect of the Epstein revelations, by a parent whose child informs him that the kids at school are all talking about what it means.

The Thinning ~ Notes from Inside the Veneer

by Joshua Stylman (full article on his Substack page here)

My kid came home from school the other day and told me the Epstein files are lunchroom conversation. Not among teachers (at least that they’re aware of), but among students in the hallways, between classes.

What a crazy thing for a child to be talking about. I mean think about that – children casually discussing whether the people who run the world have been raping and trafficking other children.

My son was telling me this the way he’d tell me about the all-star game and I’m standing in my kitchen trying to figure out what to even say. Because the weight of that – what it means that it’s entered the consciousness of our children – is so heavy. The gap between the world we thought we lived in and the one that actually exists has become so thin that even teenagers can now see through it. And yet, that’s where we are.

Anyone close to me knows that I’ve been railing about our fake reality for the last few years. That the politicians, the entertainers, the captains of industry, the media, and the philanthropists – some of them, most of them (all of them?) – have been looting and pillaging the place. Literally. And now our kids are learning it too.
