I agree about wishful thinking.
Ok, but what if your were Omega, how you could try to escape from DA curse?
One way is to reset own clock, or to reduce number of people to 1, so DA will work, but willnot result in total extinction.
Another way is to hope that some another strange thing like quantum immortality will help "me" to survive.
Wouldn't that mean surviving alone?
Looks like alone ((( not nice.
But QI favours the worlds there I am more able survive, so may be I will have some kinds of superpowers or will be uploaded. So I will probably able to create several friends, but not many, as it would change probability distribution in DA, and so makes this outcome less probable.
Another option is put me in the situation where my life or death is univocally connected with live of group of people (e.g. if we all in one submarine). In with case we will all survive.
