If it is really possible for an agent to affect the future or street themselves into alternative futures, then there is a lot of potential utility in it, in that you can end up in a higher-utility future than you would otherwise have. OTOH, if there are no counterfactuals, then whatever utility you gain is predetermined.
Yep, some possible worlds have more utility for a given agent than others. And, yes, sort of. Whatever utility you gain is not your free choice, and not necessarily predetermined, just not under your control. You are a mere observer who thinks they can change the world.
It contradicts the “agents don’t exist thing” and the “I never talk about existence thing”.
I don’t see how. Seems there is an inferential gap there we haven’t bridged.

That’s a statement about the world. Care to justify it?
