Do you have anything including theory to prove that your mind isn’t fundamentally doomed?
There is plenty of evidence for the second law of thermodynamics. Every time we perform an experiment in which entropy is recorded, there’s some chance we notice a decrease. Every time we don’t, it’s evidence that it just doesn’t happen. We’ve done so many experiments that we can accurately predict what the result of a given experiment will be. Every function used is one-to-one. Once the information is out there, there’s nothing we can do to delete it. The universe will only hold so much information.

Agreed with the former, but not so sure about the latter. There are still some loopholes (for the heat death of the universe) that haven’t been closed. This PhD thesis seems to contain the most recent review of the issues involved.
