If everything you want you can get for free, what would you own?

A couple of thousand acres of prime hunting/farming land, nice cabin and a lot of guns so I could keep it all to myself.

If nothing is worth anything...what's the point.
I could have a solid gold toilet...but if gold and porcelain are both worth nothing, why bother?
If everything was free I'd apply infinite resources to solving aging and mortality. Then I'd apply infinite resources to interstellar travel.
I mean...if something is worthless, than clearly its infinite, as there is no scarcity.

Free and worthless are not necessarily synonymous.
Air is free and ubiquitous, but it is also extremely valuable, for example.

I would like a nice homestead. I could be happy with that.

If everything were free, then I would own everything.
The question seems to answer itself Stratego.

It what sense would "ownership" even apply in a world of free shit?
