Hi,

I just discovered this study from "Freedom to tinker" [1] that clearly

shows clinic evidence of psychotic disorders by few web market operators [...]

I think the article referenced may be this:

https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2017/11/15/no-boundaries-exfiltration-of-perso...

...and although there are references made to individual health data in the article, I can't see any evidence that would suggest any 'clinical evidence of psychotic disorders', not least because I would suggest 'web market operators' are not the kinds of entities that are capable of having 'minds' from any clinical perspective that I am aware of. Legal personality, yes, but clinical personalities, i think: "no".

I do not think it's appropriate to speculate on the mental health of

people you politically disagree with.

Well, personal tastes, moral judgments and potential for expensive litigation aside, from a professional and methodological perspective, if we are at all interested in producing useful explanations about the behavior of market actors, I think the reasons available for bad behavior are already overdetermined by the characteristics of markets more generally, and the ethical limitations of market-led policies and incentives I hope do not need to be rehearsed in a forum connected to discussing (among other things) the benefits of free software?
