Just because you aren't protected by the government, doesn't mean you can't protect your inventions through secrecy.

- EvanAnderson 7y agoThis is one of the points I'm more pragmatic about. Secrecy breeds loss. The products of human creative toil should be kept and enjoyed by all, versus being locked-up being veils of secrecy that inevitably lead to their loss. The only way to preserve ideas is for them to proliferate.
