From below, too.
The paper is built on some powerful (big) assumptions:
1. You consider all computer programs as possible descriptions of the
universe.
2. You have a utility function which is computably determined by your
perceptions.
I think (1) is fine (but Eli has objected to it), but (2) seems dubious
to me.
