Contrary to what? You really think a bunch of people owning most of the land makes us more civilized? That this is not barbarism? HEH.
Are you comparing pillagers with land owners? Sigh
and I also mentioned people owning their time and work
Tell me what kind of work you can produce without using any natural resources?
I suggest shared ownership of shared resources, born out of taking selfish human delusions less seriously. I suggest a bigger focus on stewardship and less delusions of ownership.
This is nothing but a subtle leash.

Oh, and I also mentioned people owning their time and work, so maybe I should have added "dignity" to that and it would have nipped your strawman right in the bud. I just thought it obvious that I am suggesting something less selfish, not more selfish. I suggest shared ownership of shared resources, born out of taking selfish human delusions less seriously. I suggest a bigger focus on stewardship and less delusions of ownership.
But you have a point; this suggestion is not intended for barbarians who think leashes make people better or viable in the first place, just because it's true for them. I simply have no plan for those yet, sorry.
