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.

I've been bitten by a Knowledge Vampire who posed as a trusted colleague and is now passing my intellectual property off as their own. I wish I had eaten more garlic.
Someone who is great is extracting information out of others. There are two kinds of KVs -- i) who keeps the knoweldge to themselves and ii) who shares the acquired knowledge.
KVs that keeps the knowledge to themselves are harmful to the society.. They collect knowledge for selfish reasons and use it against the person they acquired the knowledge from. It's important to identify them and seal them in their coffins.
KVs that shares the knowledge with others are good. They are like robinhood but the knowledge. They acquire and release the knowledge for the betterment of the society. It's important to identify them and promote them to free more knowledge to the world
