On January 30, 2026, the Department of Justice released over 3 million pages from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Buried in those files was document EFTA01181751 — a research proposal so bizarre and disturbing that we had to read it out loud to believe it was real.

In this minisode, I'm reading through the entire document and asking the questions that should terrify anyone who cares about scientific ethics: Who wrote this? Was this research actually being conducted? And how the hell did a convicted sex trafficker end up funding scientific research into sexually transmitted infections that could allegedly increase "female sexual drive"?

The document outlines a four-step plan to:

1. Identify STIs that alter host sexual behavior
2. Determine which ones increase female sexual activity
3. Patent the findings
4. Sell to pharmaceutical companies for "mass commercialization"

The proposal specifically targets research on women and suggests testing on both humans and animals. It reads like a dystopian nightmare — except it's a real document from a real investigation.

This isn't just about Jeffrey Epstein. It's about what happens when unlimited money meets scientific institutions with no oversight. And based on the newly released files, this kind of "research" was being discussed at the highest levels of academia.
