@alexwinter@marisakabas How is this man and his social network, car company, space rocket company, and satellite internet company still considered socially acceptable? How is it that these enterprises aren’t being nationalised as we speak? How have we built a system that franchises a handful of billionaire psychopaths at the expense of everyone else?
@aral@alexwinter@marisakabas FWIW one of the best books for showing how weird it is is *The Book of Trespass* by Nick Hayes. Recommended for everyone's awakening and a great read.
@aral@alexwinter@marisakabas Taking you question literally, we have bought into a weird conception of property, such that property rights are fundamental. That distorts everything.
We need to get back to thinking that property ownership is just a permission to use something in certain ways. Limited and dependent.
