No one really owns anything . We just have the ability to stop other people using something that we “own” for a period of time .

If you really think about it, ownership is just a consensus protocol our meat suits have been programmed to run.

Animal ownership.

Animals outline their territories with their excretions, humans outline their territories by ink excretions on paper.

We instantiate that ink with lead. Pew-pew, #pow-#pow!

I outsource that job to my gubment.

As well as my thinking . 🤡

This fuckin guy gets it

Sir, that is exactly what private property is. We aquire the things, enjoy them, and give them to our children.

Does an animal own its territory ?

What does anyone really own?

Our actions . 😉

Even then, if you believe in cause and effect, do we really have any free will?

Whether free will exists or not, we spend a lot of time thinking about the future and what we should do.

Maybe that's just fate.

Every action has a reaction.

Even when we are thinking about the past it is in order to try to understand the outcomes of our previous actions so we can make better decisions in the future .

Do we even have the ability to make decisions?

If it can defend it. Yes.
