A utility function is just a way of describing the ranking of desirability of scenarios. I’m not convinced that singularities on the left can’t be a part of that description.
Singularities on the left I can’t rule out universally, but setting the utility of torture to negative infinity … well, I’ve told you my reasons for objecting. If you want me to spend more time elaborating, let me know; for my own part, I’m done.
I agree about the torture for a few seconds.
