The problem with ‘utility’ is it puts incommensurables into same tradeoff formula. There’s at least 6 levels of utility that only trade under distortion of duress: survival utility will-to-power utility hedonistic utility artistic utility convivial utility post-verbal utility

Yes in theory you will sell (out) each level for the next, but it’s not like trading or even currency trading. It’s closest to the idea of debasement. A fixing of an impedance mismatch between value and its representation.
