Metaphorical trees are possible to swallow whole, and will thrive in the environment of the metaphorical human stomach, so eating the tree means automatic benefits from all future fruit.
You have tortured this metaphor so hard that you have passed infinite negative utils and come back out on the positive infinity side.
The human brain represents utilons using a fixed-length integer field?
No, but this metaphor has utility occupying a discrete subset of the projective real line isomorphic to a cyclic group.
You win. :-)
I think the only real way to WIN is for us to torture this metaphor-utility metaphor until IT comes back out on the positive infinite side.
Very good!
