I am claiming that the reason someone might assign infinite utility to infinite life is that it is infinite, and that ways of describing infinite life that don’t mention infinity, and rely on unspoken beliefs that something is infinite.
No. I assert the claim that I made, which is relevant to that comment’s parent.
A related background assumption that I don’t make is that ‘no finite time of death’ implies ‘infinite life’. There are specifications of the physics of time that I assign non zero probability of being the correct map for which a reasonable specification of ‘immortal’ relies no infinite duration of time.
I am not sure how to interpret your comment.

Do you contradict this claim?
