Summary
In this March 2018 email exchange, Robert Trivers writes to David Haig and Jeffrey Epstein offering to add them to a mailing list associated with Gordon Getty ('Gruterites'). Trivers uses the email to harshly critique John Brockman's EDGE organization while effusively praising Haig as a geneticist and Epstein as a 'financial/mathematical mind of exceptional quality.' David Haig replies the next morning, politely declining the invitation to join the mailing list.
