Yeah, a didactic problem with this post is that when I write everything out, the “reductive utility” position does not sound that tempting.
I actually found the position very tempting until I got to the subjective utility section.
Specifically, discontinuous utility functions have always seemed basically irrational to me, for reasons related to incomputability.
