I think it derives from extended physiology. There is a spectrum on which we all fall between internal <-> external. Those of us whose lives are invested externally have/make lots of stuff. Those of us invested internally have/make a minimum of stuff. Interesting orthogonal axes are make vs nomake and act vs noact. I've always been fascinated by those who make stuff then give it away or abandon it. I've tried and regretted it. I still long for my litte artbot I foolishly gave to some random bartender.
