  • Maybe I was inspired to punch you by a YouTube video. So it could be said that the creator of the video punched you.

    Consider a painting. A piece of art.

    We say the artist made it. But we could also argue that the manufacturers of the canvas, paint and brushes are owed credit. And the artist’s parents of course. And the society in which the artist was raised. And every source of inspiration.

    This could be said of every work, product, pile of amassed wealth… Cause is uncertain therefore ownership is uncertain.

    But there are certain stories that we prefer. Stories of domination , security etc. Therefore, given the option, we choose them.

    Therefore given the option to claim ownership, to assert that narrative where I profit, even though that narrative isn’t really relatively strong, I will.
