I think Charlie truly wanted to help people by sharing his wisdom but he also knew that the number of people who would actually start to behave as he did would be very small given the overwhelming negative influences of the wider society. As a result, any new competition created by sharing so freely would be manageable.

Haha, yes, I don't imagine that Charlie expected many would actually be able to take his wisdom and put it into practice -- and then stick with it over the long haul. At times, he must have felt like he was talking to a brick wall.
