The evil revealed in elite scandals like Epstein's is not shocking if you understand modern philosophy's influence. When a culture elevates sensation as the primary human experience and abandons objective truth, goodness, and beauty, it produces boredom, addiction, and an obsessive search for novelty. In ordinary people this results in distraction and vice. In the powerful, it becomes dangerous — because their access to limitless choice pushes them toward increasingly exotic and morally unthinkable experiences.
