Im toying with a possible idea for a paper... maybe I can get some casual reactions here to see whether it generates any interest before investing serious work and thought into it. Question for utilitarians (and rational egoists): is utility fungible? Example: Suppose I get 10 utiles from X. And suppose I get 10 utiles from Y. Does that mean that X and Y are morally equivalent goods? Assume there are no externalities. Also assume a preference-satisfaction version of utilitarianism.
