I don't think thoughts can be property.
Why not? If we trademark whatever bullshit why don't you copyright your name and became the owner of it, with papers that you can show to any gov: "hey, I own this name, you can't use it without my CONSENT and approval on any of your govIDs".

Not sure I see your point. You already have a formal name assigned to you by the state. This is a part of your identity as a citizen. This is not necessarily the same as the name you are known by.
Your 'real' name Is the name that real people around you know you by. As that is a thought or 'meme' that exists in the collective consciousness of the people that know you, then there is nothing to own.

You are wrong. That is a name assigned to a vessel, a dead body, to a CORPORATION, not to a living man. That state do no deal with living men, only with corporations.
My question wasn't by far about any "legal name" bullshit or something like that. Please take you time and real ALL these amazing pill by Lux here: #586916 Maybe like that you will understand better why I asked that question.

You need to reread my response. I'm of the position that the formal 'name' you are assigned by the state isn't your actual name. Your real name exists in the collective consciousness of the people that know you, therefore it is more like a thought or a meme.

I read it very well. I do not understand why do you go back to the state. What have to do the state with my name ?

Clearly you didn't as you seem to miss the point. Read it in context of your previous reply. Is English your first language?
