The most valuable things in the world aren't property, and describing them as property would cheapen them. Human beings aren't property. 1121
By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C) @doctorow.pluralistic.net · 28/09/2026The fact that we're not property doesn't mean we're worthless, it means we're *priceless*. That's why "murder" isn't "theft of life" and "rape" isn't "theft of sex." Your life and bodily integrity are worth too much to be bought and sold. 1110
