Carl, that's not a feature of *all* bounded utility functions. If you discount exponentially for time (or more plausibly for the algorithmic complexity of locating an observer-moment in the universe, and I might want to do this for reasons independent of Pascal) then the value of something does not depend on how much of that something is already in existence, but it still seems like you couldn't get to infinite utilities.
