Therefore, in this scenario, every human being would have a solemn duty to make the world as interesting as possible.
Great post but this is where you lost me. I have a hard time prioritzing "interesting" over reducing suffering, and I find it repugnant that some beings created a universe where quintillions of sentient creatures have been suffering and dying for half a billion years on this planet alone. OK, maybe the creators had the decency to "shortcut" all the suffering so it wasn't actually experienced, that's the upside of the thought.
Hmm, that makes for a good religion too, you only remember the suffering, but during the actual moments you were zombified, you're misremembering!

Meanwhile, they find something utterly alien about solar fusion repugnant yet utterly fascinating.
If it is... I hope they do not crash the system with the test.

Be sure to check out the actual reseach papers linked in the article! I would have linked to them directly, but the article is full of follow-on links of considerable interest.
