I don't see evidence of that--Epstein seemed to be fairly well accepted and even chummy with the Media Lab management. Nobody consciously says "Hey this is a thing we do now--hang out with child traffickers as if it's normal" but that was the end result.
- matz1 7y agoYeah but doesn't mean they normalize the practice of child trafficking itself.
- IvyMike 7y agoHe was engaged in socially unacceptable behavior and yet was still socially accepted. I'm not sure how much more normalized it could get.
- serf 7y agoI believe normalization, in this anecdote, would be whether or not Epsteins' behavior encouraged other people to engage in similar or like behaviors. In other words : normalization occurs when something is spoken of casually and without second thought -- nearly every illegal facet of Epsteins' behavior was done behind closed doors, a testament to everyone's knowledge that what he was doing was indeed against the law and abnormal.
