Thanks, again for your help :) That makes me feel a lot better. I have the twin difficulties of having severe OCD-related anxiety about weird decision theory problems, and being rather poor at the math required to understand them.
The case of the immortal who becomes uncertain of the reality of their experiences is I think what that “Pascal’s Mugging for Bounded Utilities” article I linked to the the OP was getting at. But it’s a relief to see that it’s just a subset of decisions under uncertainty, rather than a special weird problem.
