    I think land ownership itself is one of the big mistakes we made as a species.

      Where i live it personal land owners cut off access to water ways. There is a river not 5 minutes from my house however I cant access it cause it’s all private land. Pretty sad

      It seems inevitable to me given how territorial people are. Not just people, other animals too. Like even chimps have different groups that control different territory.

        Yes, but they don’t own it. Territory has to be used and protected. Ownership has some implication that even if no longer used, it is still “mine” and not the community’s. IDK, tough to see what could be as that branch in the development of civilization is so far back. Rutger Bregman has a segment about this in Humanity.
