The meaning of self-ownership can be summed up as follows:
It’s a self exclusively directing and controlling itself.
A self is an entity that can have experiences, a will, and a consciousness that can spontaneously self-generate thoughts, imaginations, reactions to stimuli, values, choices, and purposeful actions within itself.
These abilities enable a self, and only that self, to own itself.
To own means to exclusively direct and control.
Every living person has a self that only they can own.
Thus every living person can exercise self-ownership.
And whether appealing to the creator of all that exists or to moral intuition, every person logically also has the right to self-ownership.
And self-ownership is not only a right.
It’s logically also the fundamental, absolute, universal, inalienable and natural right.
No other rights could exist without it, all other natural rights are derived from it, and the violation of any natural right also violates the right to self-ownership.
It applies at all times, everywhere, and to every person unconditionally.
By nature no living person can transfer ownership of their self to anyone else, divide it, or merge it with anyone else’s.
Every just law enforces the right to self-ownership, and every unjust law violates the right to self-ownership in some case.
Thus self-ownership is just, while all violations of self-ownership are unjust and should be removed and corrected.
That sums up self-ownership and why it’s the fundamental right in one lesson.
