Assuming a button that, every time you push it, your intelligence goes up. The obvious and sane thing to do is to push the button all day. Yes? No? Maybe? Is there something that I'm missing here?

Being stuck in an existential dread cycle isn’t exactly intelligent. You can logic your way out of it. If you see a demise that you don’t like, there’s no benefit spending what time you have left fretting about the end. Just cross that bridge when you get there and otherwise enjoy life until then, or try to outsmart the situation to avoid it.
