For example, how am I to own a house? is there some kind of property that it acquires through my owning of it? how does this work and what are your thoughts?
Ownership is the political/social application of a moral principle - everyone should be the bearer of the consequences of his own actions. Applying this concept socially means I should get to use or take advantage of what I produce - thus, what I produce I "own". Since I am free to trade it as well, I can come to own another's fruits of labor by exchanging it for mine. The property that thing acquires is conceptual in nature. It is your right to use and dispose of it as you see fit.

This is my hope. It perhaps is the most delusional hope I have.
I hope that day never comes. That would be the end of humanity.
