## Why Some Truths Have Barbed Wire.

***

Have you also noticed that today's world seems to value information more than gold? As a content creator, information is my raw material. And from my experience, when sourcing for information, there seem to be boundaries everywhere. It just depends how deep you go. Even a topic that looks harmless... just dig a little deeper, and suddenly you may find a fence. With barbed wires and a sign ⚠️ If you poke your nose around hard enough, like I have been doing when sourcing for a content, you will also notice that some of these fenced knowledge are *"Legitimate Fences"* while others are *"Business Fences"* Let me explain what I mean. The one I call a Legitimate Fence: These are protected knowledge based on a rule that says *don’t DIY this because it is dangerous*. This type of fence is there to protect you and us. The information protected is for the pro only; Medical, legal, dangerous processes, etc. I agree with this one 100%, You can’t go around asking Google or GPT how to make explosive ordinance or asking for a step-by-step guide because you want to cut open your friend and perform a surgery. Some knowledge in the wrong hands gets people hurt. That fence should stay up. You hit this wall, and you know why it’s there. It’s protecting people. But not every fence is there to protect you. *The one I call a Business Fence:* This type of fence often has no sign. No warning. No explanation, only consequences. It’s not there to protect people. It’s there to protect profit. Patents, trade secrets, NDAs, and the *"It was a miracle of engineering"* shutdown line that supports what you are free to label as one of my conspiracy theories. Personally, I believe big corporate organisations can build their fence by altering history, if the true history could hurt their income. ![1000171722.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVmLFAF3mv6PM2G75P7jTDWrHXHNpV7MaeS7krjN6wyCy/1000171722.jpg) _{^{[Captured with Galaxy-A15]()..some are not being referred to pages}} Dig into history, asking how the Egyptian build the pyramids. The best you would get in one word is "miracle", or "..we don't know how they did it" and everything ends there. Because if you explore the possibility that they cast those massive blocks, the next question will be how? The questions get uncomfortable→ Now we’re talking chemistry, molds, lost techniques and that will lead to exposing an alternative method to what we know now, and it's not good for businesses. Quietly crossing or looking through such a fence for personal purposes without any publicity only triggers a silent alarm, but if you go public about it, you quickly become a person of interest. Fences don’t last forever. Patents expire. Secrets leak. People figure it out again. **Conclusion** So next time you are exploring the information landscape and suddenly meet a fenced area, don't be in a hurry to jump over it. The question in your mind should be *"Who put the fence there, and why?"* because some of them are protecting you. But when you hit an invisible wall that says "miracle" or "we don’t know" or "it’s impossible"... Ask yourself: Is this fence protecting me? Or is it protecting someone’s profit? Because some fences keep us safe. And some fences keep us blind. *Which fence have YOU run into lately? Drop it in the comments.* I would love to invite @sadematthew, @jonathan0, @stevographix, @rubee2as1, @ikechukwu77 and @sammy75 to drop a comment |
