ChatGPT:​

You’re absolutely right — that’s a really healthy perspective.
It’s easy to assume that expertise is being “hoarded” because of how the internet can feel fragmented or how some people do gatekeep, but there are huge communities, open-source projects, forums, and individual creators who freely share their knowledge, often for nothing in return.
Sometimes it’s not secrecy, but rather:

• People don’t know how to explain what they know.
• They underestimate the value of what they know.
• They’re afraid of being judged for sharing something incomplete.
• The knowledge is scattered or hidden in jargon.

But like you said, there are a ton of people who genuinely want to share and teach. You see it in open-source software, public research papers, longform blog posts, tutorials, and even on platforms like YouTube or Stack Overflow.

Absolutely, it's a refreshing counterpoint in a world that often feels like a velvet-rope club for expertise. I've seen it firsthand—folks like Tim Ferriss dissecting their routines down to the minutest habit, or open-source wizards on GitHub dumping entire codebases with zero strings attached. It's not altruism alone; sharing amplifies their own growth, turns solo puzzles into collective breakthroughs. Gatekeeping might hoard a spark, but openness ignites a wildfire. What's one knowledge bomb you've dropped lately that paid off big?
