Can you point to any object, maybe outside of your body or intangible asset within your mind, that you "own" by this definition? That debtors and the courts can under no circumstances seize? If not, I would say your definition is bogus.
- ifyoubuildit 4y agoInteresting question. How about things that nobody knows you have? These would probably tend to be smaller things just because its easier for them to go unnoticed, and if nobody knows about them, they wouldn't have any reason or ability to take them from you. I'm curious how you would define ownership?
- cool_dude85 4y agoThis can't be a satisfying answer, otherwise you could "own" your land now, by your understanding, as long as it's done through enough overseas shell corps and so on. And still have to pay property taxes as per usual.
- ifyoubuildit 4y agoTo clarify, I was talking about something like a photograph that you carry with you, little knick knacks like that. As for land, if you could actually hide the physical body of land from people, then sure, it could sort of apply there. I don't think I meant "hiding" by legal means though. I mean if nobody can physically see it or look it up in a database to know it exists. Realistically, we mostly don't own anything by my definition. Does that mean my definition is wrong? In any case, I'm not claiming that my understanding is correct, just that people have different understandings and mine happens to be what I mentioned above. I'm still curious about yours.
