Power Is The Enemy Of Agency

There very much are other ways to critique capitalism than arguing that people should be able to enclose the full extent of causally downstream benefits of their labor. Isaac Newton was the first to figure out modern physics, and thus is causally upstream of the vast majority of productivity done today to a large extent. Do we owe the majority of the global GDP to his descendants?

@[email protected] @railing If one person saves another's life, they become a determining cause of every further thing the person achieves. Should that make the person indebted as a permanent slave to the one who saved their life? Causing some good thing to exist in the world is very much not sufficient justification for having ownership of it.
