  • Countries are defined by land-hoarding class, because the nomadic people define themselves by their group instead of the land on which they live.

    Without hoarders (landlords), we wouldn’t need to put as much effort towards regulating land use, instead we could focus on regulating behaviours. Ex: “this land is a national park, you are not allowed to trash it. Go next door, there you are allowed to pour the trash from your industrial process into the ground, because it’s your private land”
















  • Is it actually ethically acceptable to control distribution of something that naturally shares itself?

    Before computers, it actually required some energy to copy the content of a book. With computers now, the action of reading an ebook will actually copy it from the hard drive to the ram. If your book is on the cloud, there’s even more copying going on. It actually takes more efforts to erase temporary copies (ex: from local cache)!

    Digital copying is not the same as physical copying.
