you're gonna tell me that a $5,000 bottle of wine is 200x better than a $25 bottle of wine? They've done many random taste tests and even the wine experts can't always tell the difference.

the difference is the luxury. the garcon coming out and telling you about some fancy wine grown with special grapes in france. he pours it for you and your date. etc

illusion of comfort. the illusion is what is important.

sometimes there are differences. for example when you pay for an expensive supercar, it's going to drive incredibly well. the money goes somewhere. but i think a large chunk is what i said, an illusion
