Time was that last nugget (this is from a 2024 article) would have knocked us all over: Gee! Tea in BP with the Prince!
Now it sends out alarms – whoop!whoop!whoop! – just as piercing as the alarms set off by the news yesterday that Ariely, Duke U’s highest-profile professor, is mentioned I dunno a billion times in the just-released Jeffrey Epstein stuff. Dey was REAL tight goodfellas.
Ariely was also real close – a research collaborator – with F. Giro, the chick dismissed from Harvard for you-could-die levels of research fraud, and whose life now revolves around an eternal and insanely expensive lawsuit against (and also one from), that institution. Plus you can read with ease many discussions of Ariely’s own uh questionable results.

Research fraud. Ok.
He brings in the bucks
Let him stay
But what if we’re fucked
By the Epstein stuff?
When it is enough?
