> What idiot wouldn't put destruction of the world as '-infinity' of value?

Literally anyone, you included. Every day, there is a chance that the roof collapse on you while you're sleeping; that's -Inf of value! Yet you don't put infinity resources into preventing that since you consider the probability low enough to not obsess over it.

No, I don't put infinity resources into it because that would make me die even earlier due to not having money or time to do what is necessary to stay alive.
