I read the fun theory sequence, although I don’t remember it well. Perhaps someone can re-explain it to me or point me to the right paragraph.
How did you prove that we’ll never run out of fun? You did prove that we’ll never run out of challenges of the mathematical variety. But challenges are not the same as fun. Challenges are fun when they lead to higher quality of life. I must be wrong, but as far as I understood, you suggested that it would be fun to invent algorithms that sort number arrays faster or prove theorems that have no applications other than exercising your brain. But is this really fun for a version of me that has no worries about health, wealth, social status, etc.? And if FAI decides to impose these challenges artificially, there will be no hope of overcoming them.
No doubt, FAI will find a solution that keeps things fun for way longer than any of my schemes. But forever?
In other words, I don’t see how you solved the problem of endless boredom.
(BTW, what chance of death should you accept if Omega offers you ETERNAL life?)
