We often hear that may scientific advances happened as a byproduct of wars, could it be that in such times, patents become less of a priority or restraint.
Which brings me to the question - If Einstein was alive today, how would he fair in a World more curtailed by patent trolls and over-zealous application.
That in itself makes you wonder, what constraints do we have today that was less of a restriction in Einstein's times.

Because they prevent the very forming of ideas by their "perpetual distraction" and "fear of missing out" aspects..
