>That's like "you didn't build that".>
We are sitting on assets accumulated by the small contributions by millions of dwarfs over tens of thousands of years. Not just the buildings and physical assets. Every word, every concept, every recipe, every tool, every song, every rule, every law, every equation or formula, every invention or discovery, every edible food, every tamed animal, every medicine, every survivable gene - all are assets collected over the complete human experience. Plus the immeasurable contribution by instinct that binds families and social groups together giving them an edge over other animals and nature- love, loyalty, caring, blood ties, religion, and fiction.
Every generation uses the prevailing accepted rules of how these assets or the results of these assets are to be divided among public or private bodies. Don't confuse division of assets with building of the assets.
