I stand on the shoulders of giants: the people who learned to harvest wheat grain and learnt to mix it with water and heat it into bread.
I don't want to keep my ideas secret if there is a very real chance my ideas can beneficially influence the world, educate or improve people's thinking to make it a superior place.
Like the idea of washing hands to prevent disease or the study of calculus, if someone shares their thoughts, society can get better.
Here's an idea to solve the problem with my attitude - the problem of attribution: "cause coin". What if we could assign numbers or virtually credit causes for our decision making? Wouldn't this provide a paper trail of causality for what happened and why it happened, from people's perspectives at the point of action. Why did you buy this product over this product? (Edit: There's a usecase for blockchain.)
Who needs to do data science with theories when you have direct self reported causality information. Isn't that pseudohonest causality information more useful than unfalsifiable theoretical theories about data?
In the academic realm, we care a lot about attribution but large language models obfuscate causality and attribution.
If someone took my code or idea and built a billion dollar company over it and I didn't receive anything, except for the knowledge that I caused that to happen. Some people would hate that scenario.
Here's another idea: lifestyle subscriptions, you pay your entire salary for a packaged life that includes credits to restaurants, groceries, job, career, transport, products, subscriptions, holidays, savings, investments, hobbies, education. You would need an extremely good planning and lots of business relationships and automation but you could make life really easy for people. Subscribe to a coffee everyday.
