You’ve kinda missed the meaning.
Your bullet points actually don’t have anything to do with what we’re discussing.
We’re kinda being existential. Not literal.

Can I have… your/their gold?
Can I have the existential gold?

Nope. It’s now part of the collective.
Resistance is futile.
Or is it??
We’ll never know. Or will we?

So what you are saying is if I join the hivemind… I can have THE gold?

Yup. That’s exactly what I’m saying.
Unfortunately, I forgot how to bring new people into the hive mind.
Fairlight might know. He’s waaaaay smarter than me.

Oh its okay. I totally won’t chant “one of us” and clean out the coffers and slowly back out of the room.

I’d support you in that endeavor. Really.
Gold is something one can’t take with you.
Well, I guess you could try.
The Egyptians did. I wonder if that actually worked out for them?
And the Vikings. They even killed someone to guard the treasure.
Sorry, my brain is being weird tonight.

that’s why clarification was necessary. It didn’t feel like an existential or ethereal conversation. It felt like a thinly veiled cautionary tale to blizzard for not doing something right. I don’t always deal an absolute but one thing I always absolutely do is ask for clarification.
Feel free to elaborate, OP. I am most certainly curious as to what motivated you to post this.
Which was why I gave you a bit of clarification.
To talk about time. And the things that are associated with time. And for awhile there, we were talking about music.
It was a lovely conversation.
But I don’t want to talk for the OP.
And giving quiver all of the gold.

I was directing that more toward the original post, but I appreciate you doing what they did not.

You are more than welcome to share your thoughts on the matter and even give your take on my original post.
To elaborate on what I meant by it is very simple though. The world changes constantly. Time is everything and through time does things rise and fall. Empires, kingdoms, businesses, etc. People love to cling to the things they know even though it’s not “relevant” anymore. Ancient empires like Egypt, Greece, Rome. Persia and the ancient Chinese empire. The leaders did not want to see that their empires were not working anymore, and instead of changing, those empires fell and in the end became something else despite those clinging to the old ways.
Today, it readily applies to businesses. One model today may not work tomorrow. Walmart loved their self checkout but then people would use them to steal. So Walmart got rid of most of these self checkouts.
Parents have to adapt to their children as they grow up. Puberty is a big time in kids lives where parents have to learn to adapt to the change in their kids mindsets.
I made my post as it seems that, in a world that is changing, humanity seems hell bent to treat the change through old ways. My work is a big factor in this sadly as well.

There’s so much going on at this moment. I think what gives me solace is that no matter what is happening right now… right here… it’s never going to be the same again. Time allows us to move forward and learn from what was done.
Now we need to really appreciate the knowledge from yesterday and apply it to everything we do going forward.
We can’t go back. One, it’s impossible… and two, why would we want to. Yesterday is gone. We need to think about and focus on right now and tomorrow.
My rant reminds me of Spaceballs.
