EBWOP: On further reflection I find that since most of Thingspace instantaneously destroys the universe,

EV(U(spoopy creppy black box)) >>>

EV(U(object from Thingspace)).

However, what I was trying to get at was that

EV(U(spoopy creppy black box)) <=

EV(U(representative object from-class: chance-based deal boxes with "normal" outcomes)) <=

EV(U(representative object from-class: chance-based deal boxes with Thingspace-like outcomes)) <=

EV(U(representative object from-class: chance-based deal boxes with terrifyingly creatively imaginable outcomes))
