Hides the gate, but shows the brilliance inside the fence.

I think this is a good way to operate a community that produces something useful, but I don't know...

The resolution of "Splendor in the Fence" is low.

Is it "fun" or "smell of money"?

Sending out "interest" is beneficial for making the community dense because it attracts people who find the same things interesting.

Sending out "smell of money" is harmful because it brings in money-grubbers and diminishes community resources.

In other words, is it better to let people think, "I see someone is sticking their time in Interest Driven for things that don't make money," and then when the smell of money leaks out, they can't get in anymore?

After all these years, I thought the term "smell of money" seemed a little too peculiar.

I think "usefulness" is about right.

brilliance → make something shine → make a display (e.g. of wealth)

relevance

Gates should be hidden.
