What's wrong with not having any more reason to live after you get the utilons?

I see you found yet another problem, with no way to get more utilons you die when those in the box are used up. And utility theory says you need utility to live, not just to give you reason to live.

And utility theory says you need utility to live, not just to give you reason to live.

This is contrary to my understanding. Can you explain, please?
