Interesting. Given the anti-trump fever of 2019, if there was anything in the Maxwell “little black book” that in anyway implicated Trump, it would have been leaked even at the the risk of taking down the elite of the woke crowd.
Excellent point about the Epstein Egregore not being a controlled entity. Even if it was consciously semi-created to fill a "niche" as Jordan Hall described Egregore engineering almost a year ago, the Epstein Egregore slipped the reins.
One point about Egregores being Singularity artifacts. I doubt Egregores are processing anywhere nearly as fast as you appear to assume. Yes, the Egregores are higher order beings than humans, in the sense that Paul Vanderklay would describe such things, however their speed of processing information is much slower than ours.
Any being can be considered from both the Emanant and Emergent perspectives, but let's stick to the Emergent here. The persona named BJ Campbell is emergent from the neurons of his brain. The neurons of that brain are emergent from more fundamental particles - atoms, protons, neutrons, electrons, positrons popping out of the zero point field, etc.
Each sequentially higher level of being operates cognitive or para-cognitive informational processes at slower rates than the next level down. BJ Campbell's conscious thoughts operate more slowly than the chemical, electro-chemical and subcellular information-exchange processes of the neurons. The neurons operate more slowly than the momentum-exchange, electrostatic and nuclear force information-exchange processes of the particles.
And whereas a human being can process information and come to conclusions in fractions of a second, the egregores appear to form and move on the scales of hours, days, and even weeks. These things still ARE higher level beings, however I doubt they are moving at the speeds traditionally ascribed to uber-AIs in Singulatarian thought. Indeed, the ever slower rates of processing may put an upper bound on how many levels above human that higher level egregores can propagate.
What are the odds someone (or entity) is holding the proverbial nuclear option with regards to blackmail info and decides to send the US into a full tizzy by releasing the info in 2024?
Great analysis, and a good case for the "Epstein Egregore" being uncontrolled. I do still wonder about the possibility of successfully "controlled Egregores." Could something like QAnon be an example? It was certainly manufactured with intent, an agenda, and captured a lot of people. It was also actively maintained / fueled, at least for a time.

Hey, I remember losing those friends too. Good times, good times. Of course, as a New Mexican libertarian adjacent individual, there was basically no chance I'd have voted for either of the other two "real" options, and I presumed that anyone who had known me long enough to call me a friend would have known that, but still...
Memespace Egregores are Not Controlled

Good article, but the promise of the Trump tie-in got a lot less emphasis than it should have, IMO, given the promise early in the article.
