But should all humans be the only intelligent species in reality, and all become locked in a state of timeless unchanging existence that can never end, then yes, I guess we will have world peace.
I think that highly unlikely to ever happen, so I will not worry about it or base any actions on it.
Don't knock it until you try it, my man. Ask WinterHold about the "virtual heaven" I'm talking about, he might know something about it. I wish I could've stayed there longer.

You can't try unending permanent timelessness.

Actually you can. But I'll admit, such specific circumstances had to be present for me to achieve it, that I am not at all confident that I could explain how it happened. It just.....happened. But I'm glad it did. It gave me a new perspective on some things.

How can you try something that cannot end?

Same way you can smell an apple pie without eating the apple pie.

I don't think it's comparable in any way.
You can't get an idea of what an ultra-marathon is like by running 1m.
And endlessness is literally infinitely longer than any amount of time that ends.
It cannot be tried.

I think I probably would've shared your opinion, had I been asked, prior to this "happening". Now it's obvious that eternity is an actual thing. And it's become my opinion (not a fact) that humans can grasp eternity for themselves, and make it their own.

Would I be right in assuming that logic is irrelevant to such thinking and experiencing?

Yeah, completely irrelevant.
