Carlson notes that many of those in leadership are remarkably mediocre—unsophisticated and often unintelligent—yet they wield enormous influence through secrecy, manipulation, and lies. He highlights Jeffrey Epstein as a prime example: a man perceived as a mastermind, but in fact a superficial thug with no real depth or intelligence.
