cosmic Darwinism is probably more something that no one believes, but universal expansion is as mainstream as it gets, if that's what's important for you.

Let's assume that your Landian story about the universe was true, but then there is a wide gap between 'is' and 'ought', facts about the universe and axiological values.Even the most ardent physicalists haven't managed to bridge the two, because they are not fusible in such a way

There’s no gap. Amor fati. Maybe you are just artistically insensible.

Tell me exactly how you derive your axiological values and disvalues from the fact of cosmic disintegration?

Poetry is all good and great as long as it is not exploited by people who refuse rational arguments just because of cops and cathedral.

Escape from individuation is the very stuff of eroticism. Ergo cosmic disintegration as spiritual/aesthetic ideal.

No, your cosmic disintegration is just another version of sublime aesthetics. Nature doesn't care about such things. The great escape from egotism should be found elsewhere, in science and rationality.

No, the great escape from egotism is heat death

Isn't this what self-loathing egotists tell themselves. Let's just pretend that the ultimate fate of universe makes us less of an asshole.

Accelerating heat death is “effective altruism” (something you rationalists like, no?) If earthlings can’t put out the stars ourselves, other biospheres may have to go through the billion-year natural-selective meat grinder too

acceleration isn't a moral position
