The same analysis applies. What I do with my land indirectly affects your land. Too bad. So sad.

Wait until I create the post in which you become a part owner of the ACME Manufacturing Plant. You'll get your own little section of the factory floor, along with a hundred other libertarians. The owner, who sold all the factory sections to all of you made the grave error of not creating regulations which regulate what you can do to your own sections of the factory floor.

Oh, and he also failed to educate you on how all the machinery works, because it all runs automatically by itself. But he did tell you there's a lot of redundancy built in.

What the factory produces is used to pay your salaries and buy your food, which all of you consume when you meet in the mess hall.

In your section, there's lots of really mundane looking stuff, like tanks of water, pipes, and stuff like that. Everyone else's section looks a lot like yours, but there are differences here and there. You guys often get bored, and decide to engage in trade. Of course, all you've got is what is on the factory floor...

What you don't know can't hurt you, right?
