I wish we lived in a society that worked that way. The unfortunate truth is that having your idea stolen means you can do something great for society and end up homeless and/or under considerable stress.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoSociety unfortunately gives you no simple guarantees, nor is it able to identify who to reward perfectly. So you should never tie your whole livelihood to a successful execution of a single idea. You need to have a backup plan.
- unclebucknasty 10y agoTrue. On the other hand, we each have precious little time and likely a limited number of world-changing ideas upon which to fall back. But, of course we should have a backup plan. I'm just not sure why we can't also be disappointed when our world-changing idea is stolen by someone else who then reaps the rewards.
