The journeyman system was created to share trade secrets in skilled trades like carpentry, masonry, architecture, ect. A master would train an apprentice with "secret" knowledge with the agreement that the apprentice would leave the town and not compete against the master becoming a journeyman: literally leaving (going on a journey) to then establish a business elsewhere. Without this system the masters would horde knowledge for a business advantage and die without sharing the advanced techniques

I'm with ya there. Plagiarism is bad because it steals another person's ideas and claims them as ones own

But you recognize that the book that Lyn just published is her intellectual property?

You're a car guy... have you seen the movie Flash of Genius? It's about the inventor of the intermittent windshield wiper and his decade long battle with Ford MoCo. If inventors cannot claim ownership of their inventions what stops large corps from steamrolling independent creators and leaving them pennyless

If their are no trademarks or ways to register intellectual property how could you prove it is fraud... maybe the person experienced the exact sequence of ideas as Lyn and wrote them down? If ideas are not subject to rivalry as you claim this would be perfectly acceptable

Look into the origins of the journeyman system in German. It is a very real problem when you have no protection for ideas or techniques that they are lost when the inventor dies

Let's do a real hypothetical... Lyn Alden is popular here, and she just wrote a book. Lyn's value that she produces is 100% idea based. Would you be fine with someone word for word copying her book and selling it under their name for a profit?

I have a feeling Ivermectin would sell like hot cakes

Truly innovative ideas I believe are the productive property of the inventor. A balance needs to be struck between patents and IP, royalties to the creator, and then eventually becoming public property. Without a balance, inventors will obfuscate true inventions and the ideas will die with them.

What's the policy? Are our public schools advocating the perfect unity and equality of the student body ( one large public toilet everyone poops in at the same time) ?

God damn! SBF's dad must have hit that shit doggie style, because her face makes my dick want to jump off my torso and go hide

Mark that 22 prisons for your body and 1 prison for your mind

Might makes right: aka monkey law!

Never gonna be a BRICS currency... who will hold the gold? Who will audit the supply? Who will print the currency units? Who backstop the whole thing and set interest rates? These countries will never find a solution to these basic questions.

Bitcoin is the reset

I have a car with a working tape deck, blasted Big Daddy Kane through that sucker this weekend

This guy has been advocating broken window economics his whole life; domestic Americans are now realizing they are the windows

The exit doors are being closed... get read EU zone this is not a test

I don't care if she snorted an eight ball with president poo bear himself; her job as Treasury Secretary is to sell some fucking treasure bills, she fucked up, sold zero treasures to the Chinese, and not peddles the excuse: ooohhh I was trippin' ballz that's why I didn't do my job
