Yes, you can. You can do that by making the monetary value of the idea zero when it used to be non-zero.

Stealing requires physical force, whether that be on the property or person. By your logic, independently discovering the idea is also stealing.

Stealing does not require physical force.

So again, I guess you’re stealing from me by coming up with the same idea that I had.

You're being disingenuous.
I would be stealing if I prevented you from making money from it.

By doing what exactly? Selling spades because I also figured out how to put a stone on a stick? If you believe such things should be illegal, do we agree that you don’t follow the force is only justified in response to force principle?

Then once smaller competitors are out of business, raise prices.
Of course, force can go into it, such as when a big company sues a smaller company with a frivolous lawsuit that the smaller company can't afford to fight. Then the smaller company goes out of business, and the big company can use their ideas free.
