Stop supporting public services?
It is simply the fact that most people would not pay you for ideas that make them generally not a profitable endeavor.

In short: for practical purposes, PG is right, but wrong in his theory.
Secrecy and contracts?
While it might be sort of doable, it's probably not worth it until we have a magic pill that lets you forget the last 5 minutes of your life completely and totally.
These costs could surely be lowered if there was demand for ideas in the first place.
I think this is more evidence that ideas by themselves are generally worthless.
When it comes down to it, we don't do well alone.
If you want to have word play and add additions like.. I'm alone and a startup, but I have a fantastic group of individuals I surround myself with...or I have a family that really cares. That's not really alone is it?
I don't see many isolated entrepreneurs that stay alone and never give up the control--and grow. How would you hire and instill passion? How would you not have a motley crew of cog creators?
Having a partner, or general support, is the groundwork for a network. A network is what allows us all to play, create, and grow.
After seeing you build this device, I then build my own.
For me to steal from you, you have to lose something you own, so how have I stolen anything?
