Would you philosophize about ownership if someone stole your laptop or phone?
Side tangent: there is an interesting Vox story about a Greenland meteorite. It illustrates the real human cost of these expeditions that filled museums. Therefore I find it hard to disentangle “ownership” from “violence”. In this story, the change of ownership is a violent and traumatic event.

- seoulmetro 2y agoIf someone held a gun to your head and stole your laptop or phone, yes, I'm sure the OP won't try to claim they own the laptop anymore and go to the owners house asking for it back. Stealing through force is very different to stealing through deception alone. History is made by the first, and ruined by the last.
