But… Choice x and choice y. X gives me 1 util, y gives me 0 utils. My partner has reverse preferences. I get a=.01, she gets b = 1000. Ab=10
My partner gets 0 straight utils from x, 1000 vicarious utils + 10000 second order util + …
She gets 1 straight util from y, 0 vicarious utils, 10 second order utils, 100 third order …
So even if it diverges, both divergences point to the same choice past n=1. It’s not like ab>1 causes indecision paralysis.
Also, when I play with these later I’m going to find a way to dampen this, because the runaway utils aren’t realistic...
