You put those words in my mouth, I never said I believe that. I’ve been saying that each person owns their data and have the right to decide what it can be used for.

It’s a separate discussion but: that rich people own most of the assets has a lot to do with the fact they steal and use stolen resources to appropriate more resources. It’s parasitic and needs to stop.

Fair enough, but that’s a really fine point. You can do what you like with your property; use it, make it a gift, destroy it, give it to charity, … But in daily life of most people, property rights are all about money.

Your ideas demand a massive amount of free money for the likes of Disney. On a societal level, that’s basically it. I feel justified in ignoring a few people who have idiosyncratic plans.

  Inequality is fine as long as it isn’t extreme. You can have limits on inequality by implementing rules. In my opinion it’s about finding a balance where neither the richest nor the poorest person strays too far from the median, otherwise you start having trouble and move slowly towards an oligarchy that’ll end in violence and suffering eventually.

    Ok. And how would these rules fare against your convictions on property?
