Would you be able to explain why you liked owning things that isn't already explained by my points 1) 2) 3) 4)?

I'm guessing its just a feral fascination of owning a physical thing rather than an abstract thing which was my last point. But I think it is that but with a combination of limited supply - owning something even physical, if it is abundant, defeats the purpose.

Your point 4 may have covered everything, but it didn't actually explain anything. So it's a bit unfair to be asking jgorn to explain, because you didn't actually explain either.

I would guess its a bit unfair to call me young and then just repeat what I said instead of adding anything novel to the discussion

Are you young? If so, why would it be unfair to state that fact?

What’s unfair about asking what they are adding beyond what I already said? To the extent that it adds to discussion, they added something that is not relevant (my supposed age) and just repeated the points I made anyway.
