I really hope that humanity and its descendants think about what they want to experience last a very long time before it actually happens. I personally would like the last experience in the universe to be something akin to being wrapped in a warm blanket and very slowly falling asleep, an experience of comfort (and not much discursive thought), but I really hope we’ll talk about this beforehand!
Minor nitpick:
And so we have ever less energy to simulate our brains. It gets ever harder. With less energy, we are forced to slowly shut systems down.
I think that the problem is not lack of energy, but lack of energy gradients or negentropy to get any useful work out of.

Thanks! I’ve added this as an answer above.

This seems connected to the energy gradients between our (markov?) blankets and the cold world.
