You're absolutely right. I don't try to pretend that it would be possible in the slightest. Just that stock wealth is a societal, and thus arbitrary, construct, unlike, say, gold and precious gems, which have intrinsic value across time, space, and cultures.

At some point stock is as intrinsically valuable as gold, when it has legal support and billions of people buying and selling it. I have no interest in gold and I never will afaict.
