Since reading Richard's message, I have been trying to think of a real
life situation where I would support restricting learning. I have thought
of two.
1) I have known a few people who I believe to be corupt; who knowingly
and intentionally engage in practices that hurt people or seriously damage
our world. I would not help them to expand and succeed in these
practices.
2) If I were struggling to feed myself and my family, I would probably be
much more concerned about my trade secrets.
