I'd love to see someone more creative with writing than me do some writing prompts with that premise. Maybe have someone from this universe ascend or something and actually confronts god as they're spending time with their new ~~family~~ creation.

六> is also a good one, it reminds me of the idea that every single person is God. And when all of humanity has finally lived and died, god will become a single consciousness and join the rest of their kind. It kind of pairs poetically with Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot.

Yeah, that last one is my preferred one. Who knows if it's true or not, but if I could pick which one was true, I'd pick that one. I think it would have the best combination of getting all questions answered while also being able to keep existence interesting. It's a way to be immortal without regretting it, if mortality even applies to whatever we really are that is experiencing all of this.

I wonder if there were eons of boredom before the possibly even occurred and if there will be eons more of boredom after the one ends. Or if there's simultaneously a multitude of planets with life that we can experience. Maybe even a multitude of universes to experience life on.

Going really far with the idea, there's a possibility that all fiction and creative storytelling is actually a part of us just recounting something that happened to other parts of us in places with similar rules or very different ones.

Like infinite monkeys in infinite universes with infinite laws of physics and infinite definitions of "monkey" playing out every possible permutation of every possible existence.
