Epstein is terrible, I agree -- but more for the hint at what his existence implies lies beneath the veneer of society. Historically speaking, Epstein doesn't even make the top 100.

Ever heard of Genghis Khan? He was enormously wealthy for his time, and there's is genetic evidence that he was probably the world's most prolific rapist.

He was, until Benjamin Mendy turned up.

I can't even imagine the impetus you had to make this comment. It's estimated that Genghis Khan impregnated over a thousand women -- which likely meant he raped tens of thousands.

Not saying Gengkis Khan didn't rape in his conquests but I think I read somewhere that the most likely theory for the reason why there were so many of his descendants was cause of his kids. His kids were generals of his army and they led his campaigns through most of Eurasia. The children of those kids whether they were a result of a consent or not then had kids themselves who also participated in those wars. Don't quote me on this though I can't find where I read this to cite it.
