Re: The envelope problem, and a possible solution
Your intuition is correct of course and it's EV neutral - at least for meta-beings in a universe where all amounts of money are equally likely.
It's funny seeing Aaron's avatar here instead of a finance forum where I usually read his wisdom. I assume he's making the point that once you switch to real money in this world and real people with utility functions then it's not so clear-cut. Suppose the amount in the envelope was 1/2 of all the money in the world for example?
