Thanks for noticing the implications. Your great-grandkids would find utility, as would their children's children. It's their perspective that matters for utility, not yours. The fun thing is people talk log utility but forget there's an exponential process (children) that can follow until the lineage dies out. Agreed it gets pissed away. Which means the children process doesn't have to be particularly exponential to make log utility become linear looking for all practical values when one includes descendants.
