So if you aren't on your land 24/7/365, someone can come in and claim it by right of occupancy. Right. Totally logical.

Yes, I'm being absurdist, but that's the logical conclusion of that kind of thinking.

If I own land morally, I may make mututally voluntary contracts for the use of the land, as it is my right to do so. This can include renumeration for resources, time spent with my permission on the land, or really anything else agreed on in the contract.
