“Pay it forward.”

The benefits of a rich, open pool of knowledge are so great that those who have learned have an obligation to share what they’ve learned.
Privacy
and theObligation to Explain
“I’m going to take a different tack on privacy, suggesting that the default setting for privacy should be ‘off,’ that we should all share everything always.”
“But do you really? I think it is very fair to say there is a range of topics which you (and any blogger) are more comfortable with sharing but aren't there whole areas of human activity that you do not discuss with good reason? Like me, you do not share anything about your sex life, your bowel movements, your client’s business matters and your doubts as to the capacity of those you love or rely upon. There may be other things. This is good and does not defeat your point. But there are limits.”
– Alan McLeod
Are there limits? Why?
How would the world work if we all shared everything, always?
