As someone who transitioned from law and finance to tech, it's apparent that a greater reckoning must take place. Trying to graft tech on to what is essentially an early 20th century paradigm bodes well for the entrenched interests.

While I appreciate the distinction you've made in your post, I would encourage you to not use the word "person" to refer to corporations. I understand the judicial precedent--I'm saying that the law is wrong and we should absolutely not adopt the definition of corporations as persons in to the English language. Corporations don't have rights; they exist to serve people who do have rights. Legal precedent granting corporations rights under the law is a morally reprehensible mistake which should be corrected.
gotta transition from a mindset of trading merchandise to a mindset of (technologically possible) non-scarce digital assets.
and we've traded merchandise for more than a few thousands of years, so I see a problem larger than just 20th century paradigms.
but trade is a bit nonsensical on digital stuff, as NFTs clearly demonstrated, so it's not a trivial issue
