This is a great answer but actually a little tangential to my question, sorry for being vague. Mine was actually about the part of shminux’s proposal that involved finding potential mega donors. Relatedly, how much convincing do you think it would take to get Tallinn or thiel to increase their donations by an order of magnitude, something they could easily afford? This seems like a relatively high leverage plan if you can swing it. With x million dollars you can afford to actually pay to hire people like google can, if on a much smaller scale.
