But I do not choose my utility function as an means to get something. My utility function describes is what I want to choose means to get. And I’m pretty sure it’s unbounded.
You’ve only expended a finite amount of computation on the question, though; and you’re running on corrupted hardware. How confident can you be that you have already correctly distinguished an unbounded utility function from one with a very large finite bound?
(A genocidal, fanatical asshole once said: “I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible that you may be mistaken.”)

I do think it possible I may be mistaken.
