  • He gets shot and composted. The matter in his body goes to the plant planted on top of the composted corpse. I eat said plant. That is resource allocation along the lines of survival of the fittest. In a different world, before he gets shot someone stops him. Both he and and I are alive. This is the forced equality of being alive. This is tyranny and oppression.

    The problem is I can opt out of Pokémon. I never played Pokémon in school but I cannot opt out of eating.

    The CO2 that is the result of my body burning sugar goes to a plant. The plant uses the sun to turn the CO2 to sugar. I eat the plant to burn the sugar to do what I want. I am harvesting the sun’s energy through a cycle.

    What the “entrepreneur” does is to enclose land and chooses which plants to grow. But the plant still needs the CO2 from my body to grow. So I still breathe and help grow his food. However, he prevents me from getting the sugar (and nutrients) from the plants that I help make and tells me I have to pay for the food. How do I pay for the food? By working for the “entrepreneur”. I then spend some of my energy, gained by burning sugar from the plant to do what the “entrepreneur” wants for money with which I buy plants to burn more sugar to do more of what he wants. This was way the “entrepreneur” is not creating wealth, he is harnessing a sugar burning furnace for his own gain. This is the same way a hydro-dam does not create a river but harnesses it. A more efficient hydro-dam makes more electricity, but a hydro-dam by itself does not create wealth, it harnesses it.
