Boltzmann will return as a Boltzmann Brain. Nietzsche, screams from the grave,
"Ach! the Eternal Return!, but you will not remember your previous existence!"
If you hold, as Tegmark and Lloyd say, that under the universe are programs,
then Boltzmann and Nietzsche will likely re-exist, or maybe already re-exist
somewhere else, or both. The identity issue rears its lovely head once again.
"Ach du liber Augustine," says Nietzsche, this must be why I am here still?"
John Hick smiles at Nietzsche, say, "Us replicas must stick together." Elvis
just sneers onward.

The amazing thing is how what would happen in 100 trillion years may preoccupy
so seriously to some people that would induce to suicide. Boltzman committed
suicide in part because his own theories of termodinamical dead of the universe
more or less.
Other people are influenced equally hard, but unconsciously by very long term
perspectives that are beyond his own timespan.
And this tells something very important about the human condition: once day by
day survival is solved, people need a meaning. that means that he need to live
in a society with a plan and to work for this plan, which is a kind of
salvation. This is in the constitution of human beings, induced by evolution if
you like, but it is there no doubt. suicide means that the person think
unconsciously that it can not contribute. we are very egoistic in the short
term, but in the long term we are like ants. this is too fast but I can argue
in detail about all of this

In my opinion extensive Dysonisation will only occur later in the stelliferous
era - in the 100 trillion years when the galaxy (and the few others still
visible in the far distance) glow rose-red from having a population exclusively
made of stellar remnants and M class dwarfs. At this point some species may
have made it through the "evolutionary heritage" bottleneck (have conquered the
desire to consume endlessly and to wipe out rivals, I mean) - plus, it will be
a lot more obvious that the universe's resources are running low, and
conservation is in order.
Riffing...
