    I mean I understand the desire to make this kind of connection because she is 30 years younger than him, but my goodness, that’s kind of ignoring her respectable career University of São Paulo. Let’s not minimize her accomplishments and education or reduce her to merely a call-girl procured by Epstein.

      I remember Chomsky getting visibly upset and telling an interviewer that talking about his first wife is upsetting and that they won’t be talking about her. It seemed like he was just sad. And it was painful.

      I have complicated feelings about that moving me so much now that I know how much Chomsky can rationalize interacting with Epstein.
