I am at a conference about AI in doctoral education. Was moved to turn my question into a short blog post (warms me up for my talk tomorrow).

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.

@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.
