A Knowledge Vampire extracts unique information, knowledge and practice wisdom that form the body of knowledge resulting from another's intellectual and scholarly pursuits. They do this because their rise in success, social currency or professional status relies on preserving an illusion of intellectual prowess in that and other disciplines to maintain a competitive advantage.
Knowledge Vampires are mostly (but not always) unaware they are extracting knowledge from another person. Like Energy Vampires, who employ traits along the narcissism behaviour spectrum to recruit an unending supply of emotional energy, Knowledge Vampires are able to retain a supply of targeted information through grooming methods that build trust and guarantee attention on their knowledge acquisition needs.
Knowledge Vampires cannot be deterred by garlic or crucifixes but can be with contracts and written agreements that preserve your intellectual property.

I was bitten by a Knowledge Vampire who posed as a trustworthy colleague and who is now using my intellectual property as their own. I wish I had eaten more garlic.

Get the knowledge god mug.Knowle west, a place where the chavs stroll and rob, and the old moan and groan, is a place where you can't find one un-related person, some how they're all cousins, they even look the same too. I swear on my nans backy tin I once saw a guy there with 13 toes. Every time i walk through there feels like my shoes laces will be taken straight from under me, sketchy vibes. Hands in pockets. Never look up.
The little boy from knowlewest strolling through the street, came home to realise he had no shoes on his feet.
SON:Daad what's that place over there?
DAD:Oh, that's knowlewest son , you must promise me you'll never go there!
