The actual value of the money doesn't change though, and I think that was the person's misinterpretation as well, your implicit preference can be different based on how the money is presented but it's still 30 dollars, bills, coins, stock, gold, whatever. Portability can change, ease of use can change, mass can change, shape can change, but 30 bucks is 30 bucks and titties be titties.

    this as well. But to me, it's not that it's the same, it's that one is different from the other, in an unrelated manner.

    One could argue coins have the distinct advantage in this case of being highly divisible, which is very true.

    The question here was not whether titties were tittes, because that's obvious. But whether one titty was better than the other titty. I think the point here is demonstrating that it's not about the monetary value. It's about how you perceive it.

    Yes, agree, perception is important. I suppose the root of the disparity in our thinking is what "better" even means, because I'd argue that in and of itself is perceptual with no real definitive answer, at least when it comes to forms of money or titties, you can come up with all kinds of reasons for liking or disliking different forms.

    But now I'm really just fascinated by the amount of mental energy we're all putting into a boob metaphor. Feels like analyzing a koan.
