So as to avoid manure throwing in future conversations on this blog, I feel important to disclose that I have shunned funding from any of the big tech companies (and those who complain in proceedings against them).
I additionally want to disclose that I will not disqualify arguments on the ground that they come from someone who has touched money from the private sector, a law firm, an economic consultancy or Government.
I am interested in ideas, not in witch hunts.
As long as funding is disclosed, all is fine.
