If only the converse were true...
"...if you lack a thousand-year-old brain that can make trillion-year plans, dying after a billion years doesn't sound sad to you"?
I'm confused as to what you're trying to say. Are you saying that dying after a billion years sounds sad to you?
"If you lack a thousand-year-old brain that can make trillion-year plans, it's because dying after a billion years doesn't sound sad to you."
I think meaning it's unfortunate that thinking that dying after a billion years is sad doesn't by itself give you the power to live that long. Maybe.

Oh wow, never mind. My brain was temporarily broken. Is it considered bad etiquette here to retract incorrect comments?
When you retract the comment is simply struck-through not deleted, so no.
And therefore you would have a thousand-year-old brain that can make trillion-year plans.
Seems legit.
