Does the paradox go away if we set U(death) = -∞ utilons (making any increase in the chance of dying in the next hour impossible to overcome)? Does that introduce worse problems?
but U(death in bignum years) would also be - infinity utilions then, right?
This problem was explicitly constructed as "living a long time and then dying vs living a short time and then dying."
