I am wondering whether simple utility functions exist in special cases. For example, if a man is alone and starving in the artic, does he have a simple utility function? Or suppose he’s a drug addict criminal psychotic desperately scheming to get the next fix?
Also, just to make sure I understand the terminology, suppose it’s a lower animal, say an alligator, rather than a human. Does an alligator have a simple utility function?
