The operation of the "real world" is really quite simple... personal
property rights... something you ne'er-do-well socialists have trouble
comprehending... you seem to think everything should be "yours"
without any effort on your part.
My apologies. I thought you'd been reading the thread. My devil's
advocate position here only discusses only so-called intellectual
property. Even though I do like to practice arguing from difficult
positions, I'm not going to argue against personal property rights
here.
The difference is very clear: personal property is baryonic matter.
It's not exactly clear what intellectual property is, but it doesn't
contain protons.
Perhaps that's understandable even for your ne'er-do-well socialists?
So, you're saying that ideas don't exist? Consciousness doesn't exist?
You don't exist?
Thanks,
