Seems like there's an interesting analogy between keeping a startup in stealth mode and keeping your ideas in stealth mode I see it pretty often here, the start up idea in stealth mode mocked (reasonably I think) the advantage of getting feedback on you idea far out weighs the potential disadvantage getting your idea stolen seems like something similar might be going on here, lots of people worry about something they say being used against them later, but theirs a cost to that when you put your ideas in a public place, and expose them to smart people, those critiques sharpen your ideas and give you useful feedback if you're not actively trying to troll people, and legitimately trying to make your points in good faith its probably highly unlikely that the potential downsides will outweigh the positives from improving your ideas by getting feedback on them
