I think it's interesting to think of the prohibition against sharing as a form of social control. ""Sharing is the threat," writes Mark Pesce, in a sentence oft-requoted this week. "Not just a threat. It is the whole of the thing...This act of sharing voids 'any pretensions to control, or limitation, or the exercise of power'." It's interesting to think about the attitudes carried forward into the workplace and society as a result of an education system that has, as its cardinal rule, "you are on your own; it's you against everyone else."
