″...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.

When you retract the comment is simply struck-through not deleted, so no.
Are you saying that dying after a billion years sounds sad to you?
And therefore you would have a thousand-year-old brain that can make trillion-year plans.
Seems legit.
