"It was a bad trip because the fractal nature of time implies that your life repeats itself infinitely many times (probably with the exact same details)."

This echoes Nietzsche's idea of the Eternal Recurrence of the Same, which he thought would in fact be terrifying to the ordinary man, but the overman could live their life in such a way that the infinite repetition would be fully and unreservedly welcome.
