If I own it, why do I have to do anything special to it to run any app I choose? That is my point. To have restrictions that I have to break to get around seems to be allowing Apple to have a say about a device that I own.
"Of course, many are quick to remind that it is Apple's store and they are free to do whatever they want with it."
By the same token isn't it my iPhone that I am free to do what I want with it? Sure that means I can jailbreak it, but why should I be forced to just to use an app that Apple doesn't want to sell on their store?
But if your thoughts can help grow more food better, you can trade those thoughts for more food or more material resources. Hence your thoughts can, through trade, turn into food.
Aren't my time and my thoughts also resources to which I have exclusive ownership of? So while I may not own materialistic resources, I still have the potential to produce value with the (albeit little) resources of my time and thoughts? That would at least allow everyone to have some small level of ownership and there wouldn't be any "non-owners", just people with a materialistic disadvantage.
Yeah, but I have yet to see much in the way of an elected official or candidate who knows much about technology. They always seem ready and willing to accept FUD. They tend to take the "let's be extra cautious" route instead of the "educate me" route.
