May 22, 2009, 4:15 PM — Interesting essay from Dave Winer about neutrality. He runs through neutrality as it exists in journalism, tech publishing, big software companies, government.
Says Winer: "This idea that you should keep certain functions separate from others permeates all human activities. It's so important we should have a theory for it, and a name that applies everywhere, so when a new thing comes along, no one need debate whether such separation is necessary or good. Unless somehow humans reinvented human nature, it's always both necessary and good. "
He Twittered "I write so many essays, it can be hard to tell which are important. This is the biggest one of the year, so far. "
