You make inferences about the universe based on the finiteness of my own life?
What else would do you base conclusions on, besides your own experience? Oh right, math and logic.
I would base my INFERENCE on a statistically significant sample size.

Insensitivity to sample size is a cognitive bias that occurs when people judge the probability of obtaining a sample statistic without respect to the sample size

You are the most deluded person on this forum.
I have come to a strange conclusion in life. When people hurl insults they project your own doubts onto others.
For example, when I call you a "stupid idiot" I am probably projecting my own uncertainty onto you.
And let me tell you - I can quantify my uncertainty. It's BIIIIIG. The practical difference between you and I is that I know what I don't know.
In so far as delusions go - I place a significant monetary bet on me being one of the few people on this forum who have any clarity of thought.

You just keep blabbering away about how smart you are but do you ever investigate your own life?
Not once have I made any claims about my own "smartness". I am flattered that you think I am smart when I know I pretty stupid.
I was done playing the "know thyself" game in my 20s. Existential questions don't bother me.

The fact that you blabber so much without ever finding conclusion is a glaring sign of your delusion and addiction to thought.
You are an intellegent fool.
"addiction to thought" ???????
The fact that you seek a conclusion is a glaring sign of your AVERSION to thought.
The conclusion is that there is no conclusion until there is.
The individual conclusion is death.
The collective conclusion is extinction.
Nobody is asking or forcing you to think, but until you reach your own "conclusion", you actually have to use your brain to navigate this world. So you MAY want to develop a system of thought that works for you.
Sorry for the bad news.
