An open letter to entrepreneurs who think their idea is worth stealing…
Dear smart person with $$$$ idea,
Well done on your $$$$ idea. I don’t know what the idea is (you won’t tell me!), but I’m sure it’s good.
Ideas are the motors of innovation; they move the world forward, often to a better place. Without them, civilization stagnates and withers away, pining for its former glory. Innovation is as essential to the world as food to our bodies, as love to our souls. So, thank you for your inspiration and for providing momentum to the great human mission.
Your idea is worth a lot. $$$$, as I understand it. In fact, it’s worth so much that telling people about it is a huge risk. What if they steal your idea? And with it your chance for $$$$? What a miserable outcome that would be. All your clever idea-making for nothing.
