Sentience of Companies and their Ownership/Trade Rights
Should we allow companies to be owned, when they are sentient supra-organisms, based on subtle human-to-human relationships?
If you think of companies as a higher form of life (social supra-organisms), you may end up thinking that it's unethical to own and trade them, like it is unethical to own and trade human slaves.
So, should we outlaw company ownership -- and let shares represent something different: from the rights to revenues to the uniqueness of particular human relationships within the value systems of each organization?
What would be the ethical implications of companies being sentient social supra-organisms to the rights of their ownership?
这让我想起了我在github上的MRSGREN想法。

This reminds me of my MRSGREN idea on github.

Then the company can truly be a lifeform. As it sees, it hears and it talks.
我懂了。有时,我们的想法如此重要,以至于它们似乎与他人的许多想法联系在一起,并且我们开始将彼此的想法视为我们的想法。我想知道,创造性的异花授粉的局限性是什么?
I see. Sometimes, we have ideas of such significance, that they seem to connect to many ideas of others, and we start to think of each others' ideas as ours. I wonder, what's the limiting case of inventive cross-pollination?

//股份代表不同的东西:从权利,收益到特定人际关系的独特性//
太酷了,让我们来探讨-股份代表什么?
//shares represent something different: from the rights to revenues to the uniqueness of particular human relationships //
Cool, so let's explore - what would shares represent?

一旦公司成立,它就不再需要所有者了。您可以说所有者从公司拿走投资,而这些投资可能会在规模和规模上增长,而所有者却不会从公司中获利。
我以超市物流网络为例。一旦所有人员都安排妥当,并且人们知道他们在做什么和正在做什么,该组织就会在没有监督的情况下运作。管理人员无需为货架堆垛机继续堆垛货架和采购部门采购产品做任何事情。所有者很可能与公司运营的成功无关。
然而,收银员仍然管理商店中产品的所有者所有权。他们可以在没有所有者的情况下完成他们的工作。他们基本上做了所有的工作,却没有获得所有权的任何好处。
Once a company is set up it doesn't really need owners anymore. You could say that owners take investment away from the company that could grow in scale and size without owners taking profits out the company.
I use the example of a supermarket logistics network. Once the people are all placed and people know what they are doing and doing it, the organisation operates without oversight. The managers don't need to do anything for the shelf stackers to keep stacking shelves and the procurement department to procure products. The owners may well be irrelevant to the success of the operation of the company.
Yet the cashiers still mange the ownership of the owners ownership of products in the store. They could well do their job without owners. They essentially do all the work and get none of the benefits of ownership.
