Question: I did bring up the idea of infinite Fun v. Frank’s life. That seems to me like a tiering decisioin: it’s not at all clear to me that a diverging utility like “Immortal + Omega-guaranteed indefinite Fun” is worth Frank’s life, which implies that Frank’s life is at least on an omega-tier.
… The answer, I suppose, would be “yes.” But this wasn’t meant to be an immortal v. mortal life thing, just the comparison of two lives—so the obvious steelman is, what if Frank’s immortal, and just very, very bored?
Affirm this reply.

So you wouldn’t trade whatever amount of time Frank as left, which is at most measured in decades, against a literal eternity of Fun?
If I was Frank in this scenario, I would tell the other guy to accept the deal.
I see my room needs to be even more “white.”
