Claim that there should be a finite lifetime. You can’t wait forever. If there is a finite lifetime, then the same decision analysis would tell you to procrastinate until the very end. This effectively is procrastinating forever. It does not converge to a reasonable finite waiting time as your lifetime goes to infinity.
If I am a quasi-immortal who will live millions or billions of years, with, apparently, zero discount rates, no risk, and nothing else I am allowed to invest in (no opportunity cost), why shouldn’t I make investment decisions which take millions of years to mature (with astronomical loads of utility at the end as a payoff for my patience), and plan over periods that short-lived impatient mayflies like yourself can scarcely comprehend?
