Plagiarize my ideas!

Here is a link to a video that is an interview of Milton Friedman following his death. One of the great things mentioned here is that Milton Friedman suggested having a website where his friends essays would posted. The friend wonders why he would do that as people would plagiarize his work. Milton Friedman told him that of course they would – then you’re ideas will be working.

There is always a place for privacy and secrecy. Yet it is only when knowledge is shared, investigated, and tossed around a bit that new and better things come of it. I hope that my ideas always lead to new and better ideas. May I never be afraid to share what I have thought, am thinking, or will think.
