I would like to point out that Fun was listed as a separate tier, and that whether or not to put it on the same tier as a human life is entirely up to you. Surreal utilities aren't much of a decision theory, they're just a way to formalize tiered values; the actual decision you make depends entirely on the values you assign by some other method.
