Summary
An email chain between Robert Lawrence Kuhn (host of 'Closer To Truth') and Jeffrey Epstein regarding the production and funding of a science TV series titled 'Radical Breakthroughs'. Kuhn submits budget updates, funding timing, and potential topics like Evolutionary Dynamics (linking to Epstein's program at Harvard) and the Replicability Crisis, while Epstein provides blunt feedback on content, dismissing 'multi verse and sensience' as 'blahblah'. They plan to meet on January 5th to brainstorm.

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.

* Other possibile areas you suggest
We would like to set a mutually agreed schedule so we can confirm and reserve the Closer To Truth ‘season’ of 13 episodes for 'Radical Breakthroughs', which we need to plan well in advance - especially as we begin 2018.
See you Jan. 5 - Looking forward to brainstorming.

Attached is the complete Preproduction Book for Radical Breakthroughs - now including Misha Gromov!
Love your feedback, suggestions.
Also attached is the budget and timing of funding, as presented originally, now updated for the completion of preproduction (phase I). We are ready to go into production (phase II). See Budget, p. 4. Committed and
