I think each person has his ideal image of how to become the best version of himself. Certain people are truly drone to those material things, I call them "not so zen". Life is actually pointless if one were to chase things after things, without having a purpose in mind. I actually like your point of connecting with others to learn about yourself and others more. And I want to expand on that idea too. One can also feel happy by connecting with things or knowledge around him. In the end it really comes down to which connections you make matter to you the most, that will bring you the most happiness. Whether that be connecting with people, knowledge, interests or material things, that's up to the individual. So far I see chasing after material things will not bring me happiness, but mastery of certain things will. So I don't care if I buy that 300k mercedes in the end, but only the experience that I put myself into. I value a lot what different experiences teach me, and the insights they offer.
