It's all at such a distant level of abstraction. Money doesn't represent gold, it represents an intangible set of contracts and rights and regulations and coordination. Stocks don't represent investment in a project or dividends coming in, just a hypothetical ability for somebody to potentially buy control of a company that nobody will ever do. Your wage doesn't represent the value you create. Your engagement ring's cost doesn't reflect anything other than a collective craziness and manipulated supply weirdness, kinda. Your job is at least 50% bullshit (or scrolling around HN/fb/reddit). The number of hours you "work" isn't what you (should) need to subsist. There's too much of our lives that's as distanced and separated from fundamentals as GME.
