Prompt 29. Who owns knowledge?

LY’s first response: “Those who study, those who learn, those who share” is not a bad start. I wish this were the world we lived in, but somehow I think the answer is far more complicated and often influenced by power (for good and for bad) more than we care to acknowledge.

What is ownership? That it ‘belongs’ to you? Can knowledge even be owned? 

Pioneers, inventors, artists, discoverers of new knowledge - do they own the knowledge they produce, create or discover? If whoever was first gets the credit, does that mean they own the knowledge? Once knowledge is shared, does it belong to other knowers that know it too? What knowledge belongs to the common good? Is knowing something the same as owning it? This discussion raised Issues of social responsibility that comes with creating and sharing (or not sharing) new knowledge.

After we think about the question: Who owns knowledge? So many other important questions get raised: What do we do with it? How do we care for it?  …LY asks but “so what”? We discussed the ways we value original ideas in different cultures. Zooming out, thinking about the implications of ownership and access, but also the responsibility for protection and upkeep that comes with ownership. Is the onus on the creator or user of knowledge? In a sense, are both ‘owners’?

Who Owns Knowledge?

The maritime industry, often seen as traditional and slow to adopt new technologies, is now witnessing the dawn of innovative financial models. This article delves into whether fractionalizing or decentralizing maritime assets could be a game-changer. By breaking down ownership into smaller, more manageable parts and leveraging decentralized platforms, stakeholders might experience increased liquidity, shared risks, and broader investment opportunities. However, the transition comes with its own set of challenges, including regulatory hurdles, technological barriers, and the need for industry-wide acceptance. Join us as we explore the potential benefits and pitfalls of this transformative approach to maritime asset management.

“All I Own Is Me” by John AI Smith is a reflective song about self-ownership and personal freedom. The lyrics emphasize the importance of being true to oneself and not being weighed down by material possessions or societal expectations. The song conveys a message of empowerment, encouraging listeners to embrace their individuality and take control of their own lives.

Lyrics:

I don’t need the weight of gold
I don’t need a crown to hold
I’m not chasing after things
That fade away like a summer dream

The house, the car, the diamond rings
Aren’t the truth behind the strings
The only thing I own for sure
Is the person that I’m living for

All I own is me, I’m free, I’m free
No chains of silver, no need to be
Anything but what I see, I see
The world can fall but I’ll stand tall, ‘cause I own me

I’ve been taught to want it all
But that climb turns into a fall
When you give your life away
For a price that you can’t repay

I’m the keeper of my soul
The one who writes the story told
Through the highs and through the lows
I’m the only one in control

All I own is me, I’m free, I’m free
No chains of silver, no need to be
Anything but what I see, I see
The world can fall but I’ll stand tall, ‘cause I own me

No more running from the blame
I’ll stand tall and own my name
Every choice is mine to claim
I’m the one who makes the change

All I own is me, I’m free
I take the weight, the light, the heat
I’m not afraid of what’s to be
'Cause in the end, I own me

All I Own Is Me
