I don't feel the medal is worth it.

I don’t feel much value in order, so I don’t feel much value if someone else is wearing a medal.

• The fact that you “have that medal” is a clue to inferring competence.
• The fact that they “choose to wear that medal” is a clue to inferring values.
• So I think the medal itself has utility.
  • There is also harm: A small medal of youth becomes a great curse.
