 The less you share...
A key fact is that a superabundance of community respect and social capital are being accumulated by those who share. Thus, our brain supports sharing in its very system-nature. People generally like to share what they create, but in a culture that tells them to be protective of their ideas, people start to believe in the danger of sharing. Much of their “culture” will be protected, but the net result is the direct loss of many other precious ideas, and the subsequent loss of all the potential gains of sharing. Non-sharing culture misleads us with its absolute separation of Private and Public space. This creates a gap in the spectrum of knowledge. However, the paradox is: The less you share, the less power you have.
 ...the less power you have.
 ...the more privacy you have.  ...the more your intellectual property is protected.  ...the less power you have.  ...the less your cultural goods will be appropriated.
