      If you spend your whole life actively exploring and learning about the things that truly interest you, learning will be fun and successful. I find learning to be inherently pleasant. I see your point only if when you are required to learn uninteresting things.

      Most relevant things that we have to learn in real life, like how to do taxes, brush shoes, write a glossary to a PhD thesis, clean a clogged pipe, deploy a Python app on MacOS, change diapers, solve integrals, review bad conference papers are neither fun nor interesting.

      Maybe I'm just rationalising. Maybe I just *want* it to be false that the best possible future is a boot stamping on a human face for ever. LOL just kidding. It really is false.

      How does this apply to doing my taxes? It’s not fun. Should I just not do it until it seems fun?

      Cancer’s no fun either. Both problems are soluble, but unsolved. There’s no limit to how much of our lives can be spent on things we enjoy. Compared to our ancestors, we already spend little of our time on ‘necessary’ evils like subsistence farming.

      I don’t disagree that there is some possible world in which I have a great time all of the time. But not most of them.

      Indeed, good things are hard to vary. Most variants are worse. But, our present and future situations depend on creativity, not chance, so we can hope to replace bad things with better ones.

      If all the relevant variance of all the possible events actually exist, then in what sense is my identity as an arbitrary one of them not chance?

      All possible events are constrained by the possible trajectories of the possible universe. Even if all possible events happen, there might be just one version of you. But that is irrelevant to your question. Each personal identity is a separately constructed fiction.

      I think each personal identity is a set of corresponding physical / mental events. The “fiction” part is the idea that they represent a single coherent entity over time. I can never understand your model of consciousness, which seems like a Dennett style denial of experience.

      The experience is real to the self, it is just the self that is not real. The self is a simulacrum of a person that the mind maintains because it would be useful for the mind to know what a person experiences. That person is as fictional as a character in a novel, but it talks.

          Agree. The metaphor somewhat impoverished ( eg novel characters don't have somatic dimension etc.) but the conclusion generally sound and worth expanding. Doesn't address the nature of consciousness absent consensus on level of emergence being discussed.
