Your Ideal Universe

It is hard to think about what you in fact value, and this is a thought experiment that will hopefully help you to clarify this. It also has the merit of being a question that could possibly come up. The question is what would you do with the universe if you had all available possible physical power to shape it? How would you set it up? One idea that might be very good in practise is getting all the knowledge about how to make the decision  This is excluded by the purpose of this as a thought experiment, but it's the way to go in practise.

So what would you do? 1: Would you create a small society of super beings who would work though all the questions of the universe and then forget them and start again as soon as they are finished? 2: Would you design the universe to be brimming with uncontrolled life? 3: Would you design a huge playground for yourself? 4: Would you create a universe that was completely filled with a substance that was running the processes that led to the highest form of pleasure and happiness imaginable?

Hopefully, those intuition pumps will get you going in the right way to figure out some values. I would answer 4 to this question. If I had extra resources to do so, I would add some cool details to the universe like having the minds be intelligent or even omniscient  but I wouldn't want to comprising the total number of minds that were experiencing the best emotions if I had only a finite amount of stuff to build from.
