Nice post! This distinction should clear up several confusions. Incidentally, I don’t know if there’s a word for the opposite of a utilon, but the antonym of “hedon” is “dolor”.
disutilon?
2 utilons + 2 disutilons = 2 futilons
If we can split the futilon, we’ll double everyone’s utility function without needing Omega!
Sadly, the project was then used to bombard enemy countries with disutilons...
