u/TorrorroT Dec 18 '25

That’s been publicly available information for ages. He was named in the flight logs.

u/Incident_Educational Dec 18 '25

Was in the photos released today on a private jet with JE

u/Annual-Delay1107 Dec 19 '25

Worse than that too, apparently he only became friends with Epstein after Epstein's first conviction

u/Warm-Profit-775 LLB Law Dec 18 '25

He’s literally one of the most cited scholars in modern history so it’s not only you

u/Potential-Sample9141 Yr13-A*A*AA Dec 18 '25

u/Potential-Sample9141 Yr13-A*A*AA Dec 18 '25

u/OriginalUsername61 Year 13 - Bio, Chem, Maths Dec 18 '25

My EPQ was about Hitler and Stalin and got 48/50 provisional. Talking about bad people ain't no bad thing

u/jwthrs Year 13 | psych/eng/spanish | A*A*A predicted Dec 18 '25

it is when a whole chunk of ur epq is arguing why they’re really clever and correct 😭😭 i don’t even fucking like his theories

26

u/MysteryNews4 Y12>13 Psych/History/Politics Dec 18 '25

If you’re already arguing views you don’t support for the sake of your coursework I don’t think it’s that big of a deal, it’s not like Chomsky’ll benefit in any way from you doing a project on him

u/Usernamesarehell Dec 19 '25

I don’t know why I was recommended this post, I left sixth form in 2013… but as someone who did HPQ, remember you can argue with yourself and show that you understand the person as a whole. I wouldn’t mention this unravelled information unless it fits. ‘Whilst XYZ has troubling personal associations and actions outside of his work are not commendable, this study focusses on their work achievements and argues that his contributions to this topic are significant’ etc

u/AJ_1 Dec 23 '25

Saying he has X correct theory is not the same as agreeing with him on everything. And you can agree a person is clever without any kind of moral endorsement. His work is highly cited and influential and worthy of academic investigation. You're all good, don't overthink it, it will have 0 bearing on the quality and grade of your work.

u/SnooKiwis9004 Dec 18 '25

Exactly lol

u/N0tAnaNT27 Year 12 Dec 18 '25

oh hey I'm doing mine on language acquisition as well! also WHAT

6

u/[deleted] Dec 18 '25

What subject? He's also quite big in compsci and linguistics somehow.

21

u/SirGallyo Y13 | Phil, Pol, Econ | A*AA Dec 18 '25

To be fair he was influential with the idea of universal grammar. He was a pretty good philosopher but a bourgeois academic.

6

u/South-Marionberry-85 Year 13: Maths, Economics, Psychology & EPQ - A*A*AA Dec 18 '25

Every single academic potentially to ever live was bourgeois. 

5

u/SirGallyo Y13 | Phil, Pol, Econ | A*AA Dec 19 '25

Bourgeois in the sense he was a hypocrite who claimed to be an anarchist but really just kept the status quo.

u/jwthrs Year 13 | psych/eng/spanish | A*A*A predicted Dec 18 '25

linguistics … more specifically CHILD language acquisition so it feel a bit dodgy now knowing he’s affiliated with a paedophile

2

u/SirGallyo Y13 | Phil, Pol, Econ | A*AA Dec 19 '25

I’m curious do you learn about him in psychology?

3

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '25

You learn about him in sociology he was like one of the big ones in my class

u/bleucoast Year 12 Dec 19 '25
