Default Re: My First, And Perhaps Only, Statement About Absolute

[ QUOTE ]
Think of someone you hate. You have a choice between:

A. You getting $50k and that person getting $10k
B. You getting $25k and that person getting $0

If you choose B then you are a moron.

I don't get why everyone is hating on this OP.

[/ QUOTE ]

Choosing B does not make you a moron. Money does not have the same utility value to everyone. Sometimes standing on principle is worth more utility than just dollars.
