Let N=3^^^^^^3, surely N nice world + another nice world is better than N nice worlds + a torture world. Why? Because another nice world is better than a torture world, and the prior existence of the N previous worlds shouldn’t matter to that decision.
What about the probability of actually being in the torture world which is tiny 1/(N+1), the expected negative utility from this must surely be so small it can be neglected? Sure, but equally the expected utility of being the master of a torture world with probability 1/(N+1) can be neglected.
What this post tells me is that I’m still very very confused about reality fluid.

The torture world, in this case, is being used to satisfy the whims of the Niceworld’s residents. Lots of Niceworld copies = lots of Reality = lots of utility. So goes the logic.
Sure, but equally the expected utility of being the master of a torture world with probability 1/(N+1) can be neglected.
Since they are all the same, they can share a torture world.
