Summary
An email thread from December 2017 involving Jeffrey Epstein (using alias Jeffrey E.) and Robert Kuhn. Kuhn outlines proposed topics for a series titled 'Radical Breakthroughs' or 'Closer To Truth,' covering mathematics, consciousness, and evolutionary dynamics (referencing a program at Harvard). Epstein replies to an unknown recipient (likely the Harvard contact), critiquing the 'speaking style and presence' of math candidates, grading them as 'C+/' rather than 'A'.

Not, mind you, CPAs in general, not even smart Jewish CPAs who work all the time - but whoever, out of 664,532 actively licensed CPAs (2016), is the greatest CPA of them all (#1 in citing code? creative deductions?) - better than him!

I went through the candidates in math. . we should talk , I have great hopes for this and am sure you woudl want to get it right though some of the math people write well , their speakinn style and presence is less than A , and probaby closer to a C +/ . Im around today or hte weekend if you would like to chat.

Initial ideas:
* Expand the first episode “Mathematics and Truth” into two or likely three episodes. I’m intrigued by this because there is so much rich material - pure math, philosophy (discovered or invented), physics (Wigner’s 'unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences)’, astrophysics, cosmology, biology, general systems theory. I’ve felt frustrated in this first episode because there is so much material. I think three episodes could work - if you agree, I’ll get back to you with a suggested structure of the 2 or likely 3 parts. Also, Closer To Truth has had only a few videos and one episode on mathematics per se (out of 277 episodes!), so this would be original and complementary. In this may, math would become about half the series.
* Integrated Information Theory - quantifying and explaining consciousness (Giulio Tononi, Un of Wisconsin-Madison), plus supporters and critics. New controversial, science-based radical theory.
* Evolutionary Dynamics - your program at Harvard - mathematical models. This is not an area of my expertise, but it could well fit Closer To Truth in general and Radical Breakthroughs in particular. But you need to tell me if you would like to include this.
* Replicability Crisis - Problems in Statistics in Search for Truth. Deep problems of replicability in biomedical and especially psychological research - the scandal in recent years. See links and attachments.
