Making things is real.
The internet is not real. It is all mind manipulation for our money.
It’s real. And it adds value. But it adds value in the context of tangible goods.
Think of Amazon. It’s one, big Internet software buying/selling system. It’s very valuable. Why? Because it can move a lot of merchandise very fast, very cheaply. Ask any manufacturer, anyone who sells stuff - that is very valuable, and worth a great deal.
But what does it sell? Manufactured merchandise. Outside of the context of tangible stuff, its value isn’t anywhere near as great. The greater part of its value comes from the ability to get stuff, thing, tangible, physical things from seller to buyer quickly and cheaply. But the manufactured stuff is essential to its value.
