It also means that discovering the universe is older than we currently expect ould significantly raise the EV of such research. Any probability of non-finite history could cause the EV to blow up.
I don’t think so—an important part of Pascal’s Mugging is that the demon acts second—you produce a joint probability and utility function, and then he exploits the fact that the former doesn’t fall as fast as the latter rises.

That gets into Pascal’s Mugging territory, I think.
