I was also never sure how to separate “things” from “experiences.” Is a fancy cocktail while I’m on a beach vacation a thing or an experience? If I buy a new table saw for my hobby woodshop is that a thing or a experience?

We don’t normally buy things and then bury them in a hole in the ground. We buy them because we intend to use them, even if that use is just for decoration. Our things enable experiences, and our experiences require things.

The line between thing and experience has always been very blurry to me.
