In this post, Stuart seems to be trying to construct an extrapolated/synthesized (vNM or vNM-like) utility function out of a single human’s incomplete and inconsistent preferences and meta-preferences
Indeed that’s what I’m trying to do. The reasons are that utility functions are often more portable (easier to extend to new situations) and more stable (less likely to change under self-improvement).
