[FRIAM] more Epstein fallout

[Marcus Daniels]

If all money is dirty, then perhaps it is a service to be reminded of that -- if nothing is fair than perturbations around fairness are at least interesting changes.  The Stallman eviction was more a symbolic punishment:  There was something to be mad about, and he spoke incautiously, so punish that person.    This is kind of the reverse:   A person that would know just what to say and what not to say, and would have keen sense of what was PC, and of risk in the abstract,  but with deeds that were nonetheless unaligned to that.

    I can't find it now. But he supposedly open sourced his patents and was a member of the dorkbot community. At what point do we forget the origins of some funding? I mean, Bill Gates' money was aggregated via some filthy monopolistic methods. Does that imply nonprofits should turn down their help?
