    Ownership really is a solipsistic paradigm, but at least the solipsism is buried deep below a seamless constructed reality we can all share. This is just naked solipsism that isn’t even self-aware enough to be called nihilism.

      Right? I’m with the principle that money is made up and the systems is fucked, but also there’s a mechanical reality to the system constructed around it. Additionally laws ain’t magic, people have to agree to honor them even if it’s just tacitly by virtue of being born into them, and the overwhelmingly vast majority of people are participating in this system.
