Cunning idea-stealing sociopaths are alive and well in Silicon Valley. Why? It’s so hard to find lightning in a bottle and nobody really cares about who originated the idea It only matters who brought it to the world Outexecute and you can still prevail.
Also, anyone who steals your idea can only steal the present manifestation of it. But any good idea is (a) dynamic and (b) consists of the thinking that led to it, not just the current pitch. So no one can completely steal a real idea.

Other than just the details and insight behind a broad idea, one can't steal intrinsic motivation either.

Yes, and to put it another way: they can copy your work, but they cant copy the sensibilities that created that work.

Totally agree with you, Paul. But I guess they can still hurt a lot by pumping in money and offering the copied product for free for a long time on VC money.

They can just steal a projection of it.

Can you explain the monetization of community? Or point me to a good resource/description of that concept? I keep seeing it but I’m not sure how that works.

These things are really hard to generalize. If I happen to be a retired researcher in the pharmaceutical industry with lots of insights, who just got a brilliant idea on how to drastically reduce the cost of production of a certain drug. That real idea can be completely stolen.
