I think it depends on how much sociobiology they've studied. People
who've read things like Dawkins's THE EXTENDED PHENOTYPE would
tend, I think, to see their technological property as extensions
of their bodies and their nontechnological property (land, minerals,
other organisms) as part of their territory.
This is a very interesting perspective that I hadn't ever thought
of quite this way before, thanks.
