pity it's like "who's line is it anyway?" - the points are meaningless and really don't matter

First, we money is a delusion we all agree to share - it has no intrinsic value whatsoever

Second, stock is an even more-removed delusion based on what people _think_ a company might be worth to buy - a value that changes at the drop of a hat (look at the recent massive dips, eg nvidia)

Third, and this is probably the real bummer - all this delusion is just going to make Smelly Tusk even more insufferable. Yay.

We agreed to its value, and it can be spent and in your limited life span it translates to a drastically different life experience. So, fake money is still money. Not making any judgements on the topic, but waving this truth away doesn’t work.
