How does ownership of ideas work again? And I don't mean citing sources when required, but the tracking and commodification of roots of experience external to existence in understanding.
You've got to be trained in mental gymnastics to jump through those logical hoops.
- dash2 3y agoYou don't need mental gymnastics, and you don't need to believe that people can own ideas or that they should be commodified (though it's fine if you do). You just need to understand that people deserve credit for the ideas they came up with. This is particularly important for academics, who live or die by their ideas.
