> why do you believe that my super polished and streamlined WezTerm is less worth than a japanese sword?

Because people are willing to pay roughly 0$ for your riced terminal and dot files.

A polished japanese sword made by a master craftsmen on the other hand - people are willing to pay good money for.

So you think money is the indicator? I have to disappoint you: There's a ton of things that have zero monteray value, yet an enourmous value for the person who creates it. One example: Open source software. Another: Art you create for the fun of it.

I'm sorry to disappoint you. Money is proxy for value. Or atleast the closest thing to it.

In fact, it has so much value, that people will bend over, creep and crawl just to get it. And sell their waking hours for it.

Yes, you can have a lucky-pet-rock that you've always had with you, that holds value for anyone but you. For everyone else though - it's just a rock.
