Crazy?

Mankind is poised midway between the gods and the beasts - Plotinus Got that one from S2E9 of Westworld. Resonated. Show just revealed rich folk are building immortality secretly for themselves. Shock. Profound thought I had a few days ago: Assuming the universe is turtles all the way down. Everything has always been and always will be. How else do you explain being here at all? Logic would say that I am very unlikely to be the first. Existence should continue and intelligence develop until you can build another universe. And that one can also develop to build its own universe. [ If you were to get so far along to get close to the heat death of the universe, all the sub simulations would come crashing down. Our universe as we know it cannot be the end all and be all, there has to be a different universe starting it all. ] If I was in that universe immortal, I would know all there is to know, what point then is there then to even continuing on? Immortality would be boring? I wonder what God thinks of that? So as that advanced being, I would place some kind of code of myself at a time in a universe when there is a near 100% chance that I would move from ignorant to immortal again. Why? This new life would not be boring, I could live it, but my initial self would calculate that I would be there for a 'singularity'. It would be the most golden age, the most fantastic time to live that would also let that self live for... I could move on and advance until again I was bored because I knew everything there was to know. And yet again, I could build a new universe and put my code in it to live anew, fresh, not knowing, but my initial self would be smart enough to know I would eventually continue. And the cycle would continue forever. Would my initial self put a clue in my world explaining those initial things at a level I could develop to understand? For me to find, just before the singularity, or slightly after? Of course I would. So it seems to me, it is time for an adventure. :) Still and always will be stuck at the 'how did we get to that first place to continue forever'?
