This is an attempt to explain profound changes in the world through the lens of Systems Thinking. In particular, this touches on coherence as a principle that is a necessary pre-condition for legitimacy and validation of systems. Contradictions, paradoxes, inferior logic all present themselves as an opportunity for someone to challenge the legitimacy - and that's exactly what's been happening with the world. Most other framings are really talking about manifestations of this phenomenon and are not dealing with root cause. I'm writing a series of article on this topic - all to do with sense-making, blindspots and mystification.
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.
