Towns are not only made of rocks and wood, they have a mood, an ambience, an energy-field.
The energy-field comes from the experiences of the people there, through the ages, stored in the buildings and the meaning the locals give the town.
You can build a place that LOOKS the same, but it won’t FEEL the same and you won’t feel the same walking there.
What you see and touch is not the main aspect of a place or person. Every place is unique and cannot really be replicated. Every person is a unique mood, field, ambience and cannot really be cloned. If a clone doesn’t carry the spirit of the original person, it’s not the same person.
If a movie-actor does the stunts himself or has a CGI-copy of himself makes a felt difference to the viewer.
If you create your own content vs. copy other’s content makes a difference in your long-term success.
If you’re seeing pictures of a vacation destination vs. being there, makes a big difference.
And yes, a luxury-watch vs. a replica-watch carry a different energy, even if they look the same. The environment the watch was made in, imprints a certain “atmosphere” to the product.
