Interesting thoughts. You touch on a theme that I have been thinking about lately: zero sum games versus more creative solutions.

So often we get stuck in zero sum games. You give up knowledge: I win; you lose. You get what you want: you win, I lose.

But it doesn't have to be that way. Shared knowledge can mean gains for both parties. Enabling your collaborators (competitors?) allows you to concentrate on your strengths.

Indeed, life does not have to be a chess match. But creativity and innovation are often required to avoid the trap of the zero sum game.
