I don't follow you. You write

The third horn is a fake, being capable of being defined in or out of existence at will. It I am indifferent to my state ten seconds from now, it is true; if my current utility function includes a term for my state ten seconds from now, it is false.

What do you mean by calling the horn "fake"? What is the "it" that is true or false?
