Good post. I’m all for sharing ideas. The days of hoarding ideas/information are over. I think this behaviour was more acceptable in the 80s/90s where there was more emphasis on the individual/star-player triumphing. Now it is about the larger community pulling together. This is especially evident in all things web/tech-related – e.g. open access, open source etc. It’s all about sharing ideas/concepts – opening things up, collaborating.
Precisely. It’s interesting, Cory Doctorow talked about this in one of his talks. There was a long period of time where scientists and scholars didn’t collaborate, didn’t share data, and everyone tried to make it up as they went along. A period, of course, we call the Dark Ages. When people finally started sharing, started being able to pass documents between them to collaborate on and improve we had the Enlightenment.
I think there’s something to that…
