Are We Living in the Age of Epstein? We really are living in the Age of Epstein—not just because of one man’s crimes, but because the scandal has confirmed our worst fears: that a global elite can operate with near-total impunity, that vulnerable people are treated as disposable commodities, and that the institutions meant to hold power accountable often protect it instead. Every unsealed document, every unpunished name, every suspicious twist only reinforces the gut feeling that everything awful we’ve ever suspected about wealth, influence, and corruption is true. This isn’t just a scandal. It’s a reckoning with how broken the system actually is.
