"Sorry, my utility function isn't linear in orgasms!"
Doesn't have to be. Two orgasms is almost certainly better than a 1/399 whale-day if you are indifferent between one orgasm and 1/400 whale day.
In other words, that's some pretty intense nonlinearity you've got there.
Can't wait till I have time to write my linearity post...
Should be straightforward.
Only locally.
"Sure, but surely 2 orgasms are better than 1, so, since you're at 1/399 for turning into a whale, and a single orgasm is equal to 1/400 chance of turning into a whale, so wouldn't two orgasms be good enough to at least require 1/398 chance of turning into a whale?"
