Tom Stewart mentions disincentives to sharing knowledge, and how
consequential a phenomenon that is.
I suspect this phenomenon is rooted in our aversion to risk-taking,
because sharing involves some modicum of risk. All the institutes,
retreats, workshops, etc. whose goal is communicating are attempting to
overcome this aversion, and perhaps supplant it with an openness of which
we are also truly capable as humans.
So is this a basal aversion (built into our bio-circuitry), or is it
learned by hard knocks in society of the last umpteen centuries?
