Hiding information is a risk memo - fladdict.net

If I were to add something to this article,
"The useful information you hide will be publicly disclosed by someone else for free, and they will take away all the benefits."
I think that's what it is.
When you think about it, the best strategy to gain an advantage in development competition is for a few people who hold information and know-how to form a joint front and disclose their hands to each other. This is assuming that there are not many traitors among the top players. Doing this is generally thought to reduce competitiveness... but in reality, I don't think so. The reason is that while technology disclosure serves as an information highway to raise the level of technology in the so-called lower layers, it can reduce the cost of trial and error for developing new technologies in the upper layers. So I think that instead of eliminating the technology gap, it moves in the direction of raising the bottom to middle layers while expanding the gap itself among the top players. So, the ones who actually suffer are the middle layers who do business with information gaps, and the ones who pick up non-major technologies from somewhere and sell them at high prices without doing anything.
I started hearing about "hope gap society" and "lower society" around the time I decided to return to Japan, and I was thinking about various ways to live without being exploited in the creative industry or to acquire a happy retirement.
As a personal conclusion, I believe that in order to survive in a society with disparity, it is important to revive mechanisms of mutual aid and communities that have collapsed due to excessive competition. We need to create something like guilds of mutual aid without any nepotism, like caravans or mercenary groups. Although I don't have a specific vision yet, I think it would be a mechanism in which the upper challengers' benefits are returned to the lower parts, and at the same time, the community protects the failure or decline of the challenger. It is like a semi-socialist group for the inside and a super-aggressive capitalist group for the outside.
\n> \n> While thinking about such things, for the time being, I am experimenting with creating places where we can exchange information without being tied down to anything, such as anonymous information exchange threads (only for non-NDA information) on 2ch or secret bases. However, I am being constantly attacked with remarks like "Go die" or "Professionals who are looking for information in such places should quickly find new jobs."
