Overview
- Johnson says a mutual contact arranged the video introduction about eight years ago while he was building brain-interface firm Kernel, presenting Epstein as connected to neuroscience work at MIT.
- He describes Epstein as the most “intuitively evil” person he had met, says the call felt dangerous, and states he immediately cut off contact.
- He adds that any reference to meeting in person occurred before the call and clarifies the Zoom was his first and last interaction.
- The Justice Department’s latest release under the Epstein Files Transparency Act added more than 3 million pages, 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, prompting renewed scrutiny and criticism over redaction failures from survivors’ attorneys.
- Johnson links the disclosures to a viral AI platform called Moltbook and argues the combination has caused widespread psychological dislocation.
