That fucking rocks. Say I get bored of something for a few hundred billion years? Well, wait long enough, and be willing to be entertained again.
One's brain attic, after all... is anything BUT limitless. The head forgets.
You're going to be examining an awful lot of vacuum and large balls of hydrogen. And that only happens if you can figure out how to get off of this rock. Lots of travel time will be spent in a can unless you've got some magic FTL drive up your sleeve. With your anything but limitless head, that might be a problem.
Sounds really dull.
If your hope of tolerating a life that extends forever lies in forgetting your past experiences, how does that differ from reincarnation?
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
