In the fantasy book series "The Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan, there are magic users who have formal training from the White Tower, basically like Hogwarts... They've followed a proper curriculum with proper teachers, they have access to an enormous library, etc. And then there's so-called "Wilders" who have learned a crude proficiency in magic without any proper training. As the book series progresses, it becomes clear how some Wilders are incredibly powerful, and even when they're not, they have simple little tricks nobody with proper training would ever think of, countless spells that don't have a name, that can't be learned or explained or taught, because they are the childhood trick of this one particular Wilder who learned it without even knowing they were performing magic.

We need "Wilder" technology and "Wilder" art. If you have a good idea, don't put it on the internet. Put it on paper and don't let a camera near it. Share it only in-person with other antis. When eventually there's riots or wars over AI, this body of knowledge will be our only advantage. Technology is the most obvious thing, but art, food, fashion, everything.
