Of course the Epstein files are serious.

But not everybody has every single global development / news event IVed into their veins. Many of us just don’t keep updated on global news such that we may not be aware of an event that happened in the last 3 days.

Important news tends to get to me eventually. And there is usually nothing I can do about something personally anyway (at least within a short time horizon), so there is really very little value in trying to stay informed of the absolute latest developments. The signal to noise ratio is far too low, and it also induces a bunch of unnecessary anxiety and stress.

So yes, believe it or not very many people are unaware of this.
