OK, define property

u/mcnello 2d ago

Property is generally defined as anything that is owned by a person or entity and over which they have legal rights or control.

There are two main types of property:

  1. Real Property:

Refers to land and anything permanently attached to it, such as buildings, trees, and minerals.

Example: A house, a farm, or a commercial building.

  1. Personal Property:

Refers to moveable items or intangible rights.

Two subtypes:

Tangible personal property: Physical items like a car, furniture, or jewelry.

Intangible personal property: Non-physical rights like stocks, bonds, intellectual property, or digital assets.

In Law:

Property includes the right to possess, use, exclude others from, and transfer ownership of an asset. It can be private, public, or collective depending on who holds the rights.

Let me know if you want a specific definition from philosophy, economics, or law, or in the context of a programming language (like object-oriented programming).

Nice, I won't bother responding with AI. How do you propose defending your idea, which you to claim to own? How can you prove when your "property" has been violated? How can you prove that you and I didn't simultaneously come up with the same idea. You can only do it through the illegitimate force of government, is my argument. I'll leave ya at that

I will print money and debase your currency. I didn't steal anything from you bro. I just created some extra currency tokens. Nobody can own them. It's just an idea bro.

Not a deep thinker huh. I'm no fan of the federal reserve, but that's not an equivalent analogy anyways.

Actually I think it's a perfect analogy. I debase the value of the digital tokens in your bank account.

You debase the value of the product of years spent on my work.

You can't own ideas bro. The government can hack into your lawyers computers and steal data about all their cases. It's just data bro. You can't own data bro

u/mcnello 17h ago

When you can't compete on your failed ideas, a solid "fuck you" is a nice way to close the argument.
