The typical debate being that prospective patent holders might need an incentive in order to have created their innovation, but that same patent will bar anyone else from iterating using their technology for a period. Without the patent, we can have extra gains from iterative innovation, but maybe the gains from the innovation never happen without the incentive in the first place.
Is there a marketing problem with the statement "You have no right to your culture"? David Henderson thinks so and wrote about this recently. This is similar to the debate on "Open Borders" as a slogan.
Is there a distinction between community norms and laws in the extreme versus a more amorphous "culture" of a particular group of people/place?
Is the argument here just a special case of the endless struggle for freedom where most everyone agrees in theory but a large majority rejects it when confronted with marginal opportunities to actually live it out--similar to build, baby, build for thee, NIMBY for me because "we're" special?
Is there any parallel between culture and intellectual property? Is there an "ability to iterate" versus an "incentive to innovate" problem?

What do you make of the distinction between “deep culture” and “surface culture”, and is it relevant to your argument?

Does Europe have more trouble assimilating immigrants, and why? Does that contribute to higher crime rates, and why?
