My point was that you should never feel constrained by your utility function. You should never feel like it’s telling you to do something that isn’t what you want. But if you thought that utility=happiness then you might very well end up feeling this way.

That’s fair. I think a better way to put it is to not put too much value into any explicit attempt to state your own utility function?
Yeah.
