He stated it quite clearly when he wrote: "And there's nothing wrong with that."<br /><br />Now, as much as I like his reasoning, which has the mathematical coldness of the dismal science, I think it is fallacious.<br /><br />It is true that revealed preferences matters, and that you never state more truly what you like than when making a consumption decision. But what do you do when you give to charity? There are (at least) two ways of seeing it. One might say that you buy the utility that giving to charity brings you (feeling good.) One might also say that giving is truly selfless: in that case, you simply give up your money and the utility this money could have brought you.<br /><br />There is also a problem of framing: Roman Candle makes as if the decision was between saving a child and playing videogames. It is not. I think that when confronted with the choice of saving a particular child, even a complete stranger, and playing videogames, we would all decide to save the child. In your example, the choice is between playing videogames and giving money to a charity that will do stuff that will help saving children's life.Rochambeaunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-91681099860629445312011-03-13T17:03:54.566-07:002011-03-13T17:03:54.566-07:00"A Roman Candle", are you stupid?
