@byllgrim absolute exclusion is a core part of the concept of property. The system is based on the logic that if I take something from you, you no longer have it, and thus you have been harmed and the harm must either be prevented (don't take it, it's mine) or compensated fairly. If I'm merely filling my cup from the literally infinite well, what justification do you have mustering the authority of a government to stop me?

@byllgrim idea is not strictly synonymous with IP, but IP is a term that covers three entirely different capitalist fictions that really need to be discussed individually. Is copyright the only one you're interested in?

@byllgrim I explained why it's not arbitrary, though. When you say "proof by construct" what specifically are you claiming to have proved?

@byllgrim when you touch my bike, you are temporarily taking exclusive control over whatever parts of the bike you're touching. While you are sitting in the seat, no one else in existence can. The bike is still property that you have just taken. When you only take my property for a millisecond because you were literally just touching it, nobody cares. When you take it for longer, it becomes an issue.

@byllgrim it seems like you understandy argument (that ideas cannot be property because it is literally impossible to exclude others from it) because you think that excluding others is something you can do partially rather than it being literally the fundamental core of what property is.

@byllgrim I'm only making one claim- that ideas fundamentally cannot be property. If you understand that claim, you understand everything because it's the only claim being made.

@byllgrim you're on social media having a regular old conversation not in a formal debate. If you're interested in a detailed argument, perhaps you should consider reading one of the many books on the subject?

@byllgrim if you want to hear a more eloquent person talk about it here's Thomas Jefferson, a dude who loved property so much he owned humans: http://www.let.rug.nl/usa/presidents/thomas-jefferson/letters-of-thomas-jefferson/jefl220.php

@byllgrim you can skip ahead to the line starting "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."

@varx people just don't want to associate with or trust someone who works with cops. It has nothing to do with trying to protect ourselves from spying and everything to do with basic everyday avoidance of shitty people.

@varx you know that their judgment is so poor they are willing to work with a racist fascist gang, a fact that is particularly important when they aren't merely "working with" the fascist gang, but actually label themselves as a "Proud Member" of it.

@varx do people who report scammers to the FBI call themselves "Proud Members of the FBI"?

@a_breakin_glass using tabs for indentation is clearly the superior option over spaces, but like, it's fine to use whatever

@prydt hmmm the classic programmers dilemma do I use the dedicated tool specifically designed for this purpose that allows others to customize according to their preference or shoehorn in a tool designed for something else, and works fine so long as we assume everyone has the same preferences as me?
