"You'll own nothing and be happy."

With the prospect of 80-year mortgages, fractional ownership, a larger government presence, high taxes, and Universal Basic Income (UBI), it appears that traditional notions of ownership are evolving. While I remain open to these changes, I have an underlying resistance to this.

Being a proud owner of tangible possessions brings a profound sense of pride and responsibility. It's a deeply personal experience.

I don't have strong attachments to most items, for they're all mostly replaceable, but being able to care for and "own" something should be preserved as we embrace the advancements in AI and robotics.

The transformative impact of AI and robotics on humanity is undeniable, but the concept of owning things outright should remain an enduring part of our future.

Cars, houses, instruments, technology, digital property, books, clothes, bandwidth, food even etc... time to start thinking about how we enshrine ownership rights.
