But that's not even close to what I said. Doesn't matter how fun these new experience are; eventually, just living will become hell.
This is the point I make in the link I provided. On a long enough time scale, the initial conditions (paradise, purgatory or hell) become irrelevant because the sheer length of eternity reduces them all to abstract suffering.
