Why should we only count physical goods as benefits?

That sounds like a pretty impoverished world to live in. No music, no art, no communication with our friends and family beyond speech…

I don't think that was the point, you can add those to the physical goods list as well, as well as many other human services (education, cutting hair, open air games, etc).

The point was that the real money comes from finance games, like the stock market, forex trading, etc - things of much more dubious value when you actually look at them objectively.
