C seems likely to me based on A only if I assume D(uninverted is silly). That’s because there are other beliefs that could make one claim A that are more coherent than C. But let’s ignore this little side track and just state what we (probably) all agree on:
Being a positive integer isn’t particularly desirable.
Wireheading, orgasmium and positive floating point numbers or representations of 3(as many carats as fit in the galaxy here)3 are considered equivalent to ‘positive integer’ for most intents and purposes.
Being a negative integer is even worse than being a positive integer.
Being an integer at all is not that great.
Just being entropy sounds worse than just being a positive integer.
The universe ending up the same as if you weren’t in it at all sounds worse than being a positive integer. (Depending on intuitive aversion to oblivion and torment some would say worse than being any sort of integer.)
If we disagree on these statements then that will actually be interesting. And it is quite possible that there is disagreement even on these. I’ve often been surprised when people have different intuitions than I expect.

Fun is better than orgasmic integerness.
