   like i'm not a huge market fan, and most people here are... but can't we   
   all agree markets work best when everyone has as close to perfect   
   information as is possible to build, no?   
      
    > but muh trade secrets!?   
      
   the stupid part is muh trade secrets/patents were never a design goal of   
   capitalism. patents were supposed to be a *solution* to the problem of   
   trade secrets: give people a recognized monopoly to give out info.   
      
   people now conflate that with how things should be as if we won't ever   
   again innovate without muh trade secrets ... which is patently false   
   with a long list of various examples including most of academia where   
   profit motive presents a deep conflict of interest in evaluating actual   
   results an objective manner.   
      
   with 21st century tech, we can do better by requiring that businesses   
   (and governing systems) operate in with real time, full transparency.   
   sure plenty will get massively butthurt, but overtime as we get used to   
   operating/competing in a transparent manner...   
      
   we will produce something far superior in real economic outcomes!   
      
   before then probably elevating to some form of 23rd century communism...   
   but transparency first ehh????
