"Ownership" relies on institutions, which in turn rely on violence to enforce it.

As AI marches through various institutions, fundamentally shorting their utility, and as these crumble and morph (including law-enforcement & military), I suspect many people will be surprised how little they actually "own".

That includes much of the "capital ownership" class.

Good luck with your squirrelled bank accounts and brokerage accounts!

Isn't that the premise of The Matrix?

Bar "clothing", I guess.

I appreciate your stubborn loyalty, it's commendable and, in a way, cute. In this case you're wrong though:
