  I have trouble to figure out what you are agreeing with and what is
this multiplayer game thing.

  Anyway, I'm not entirely sure the "persistent collaboration" is that
big idea.  When you are reading a book, and especially when you are
getting an idea that is going to contradict with the stuff written in
the book, you definitely don't want to hear from your peers or
teachers or talk about your idea too early; that is a recipe for
killing a radical idea.  Collaboration at the right time will
definitely help, but when you are engaging deep thought is not when.
