I considered deleting the post, but this seems more cowardly than just admitting I was wrong. But TIL something!

    if you’re talking about physical objects you have to consider material reality

    If you’re considering material reality then you can’t have an infinite amount of it.

      That’s a concession of the premise, you obviously can’t have infinite anything, but if you could then the 100s would bring more utility

        But the utility is not the issue in the premise.

        “Would you rather have an infinite number of $1 or $100 bills?” Obviously $100 bills, but they are worth the same amount.

          If utility isn’t the reason why you’re picking 100s then why would you if they’re the same amount?
