I had read the famous adress booklet of Epstein and Chomsky’s name wasn’t in there. But then he’s on the plane. No idea what relationship they had. Any statement from Chomsky?
He’s been pretty dodgy about his association. He responded to a question about it in this interview, which pretty much amounted to “He served his sentence, which makes him just like anyone else,” and then did some whataboutism…
When asked about his relationship with Epstein, Mr. Chomsky replied in an email: “First response is that it is none of your business. Or anyone’s. Second is that I knew him and we met occasionally.”
In March 2015, Epstein scheduled a gathering with Mr. Chomsky and Harvard University professor Martin Nowak and other academics, according to the documents. Mr. Chomsky said they had several meetings at Mr. Nowak’s research institute to discuss neuroscience and other topics.
Two months later, Epstein planned to fly with Mr. Chomsky and his wife to have dinner with them and movie director Woody Allen and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn, the documents show.
“If there was a flight, which I doubt, it would have been from Boston to New York, 30 minutes,” Mr. Chomsky said. “I’m unaware of the principle that requires that I inform you about an evening spent with a great artist.”
Well I’ve heard all I need to. I knew Chomsky was kind of a prodigious jerk. He’s put out some good material in his time, but it sure doesn’t seem like he’s personally on the right side of of the child abuse “side” of the debate.
Yeah, it’s a damn shame since Chomsky’s works are what initially sent me down the path to Anarchism, but there’s just too much there to give much benefit of the doubt.

In a more recent article:
Epstein also had moved $270,000 for Chomsky, which isn’t a good look.
