One could argue that ownership is a concept used for future-proofing. A way to “mortgage” our future in an ever-changing world. It provides a basis for longer-term strategic actions by ensuring permanence and durability of conditions and choosing the right strategies. It’s also psychologically important because it removes anxiety and hyper vigilance or a related PTSD. Maybe it’s worth just for the clarity knowing whether one owns or not—instead of irrational ambiguity. I wonder what would be a “working” alternative to ownership? Resources are limited.
