    Well one happens while grandma is hugging the kid. It involves perceiving and interacting with a physical object, which uses parts of the brain that are hundreds of millions of years older than the parts you’re using when you see a notification on your phone.

    Also there’s the fact of the secrecy, which isn’t there when all transfers are recorded for possible analysis later.

    Quite a bit is different actually.

      I’m not really hearing a compelling argument sorry.

      My parents relationship with my kids runs far deeper than the act of handing over cash.

      I feel like physically affection is only bought with money in your house. Bribe for hugs? I dunno.
