My second peer-reviewed paper was published by Philosophy & Cosmology in 2016: Can an eternal life start from the minimal fine-tuning for intelligence?
This paper shows how the combination of Smolin’s Cosmological Natural Selection (CNS) and evolutionary conservation explains why we observe the bare minimum level of fine-tuning that is needed to host intelligent life, while actually living in the maximally large multiverse that is maximally complex and maximally fine-tuned, hosting only beings that have a maximally eternal life. The paper even speculates on what are the factors that determine our immediate afterlife (what happens immediately after our death on Earth). The idea that the evolutionary age required for four-dimensional beings to come into existence is vastly larger than our evolutionary age of some billions of years, explains why we do not observe any four-dimensional beings, in spite of them being causally active on Earth. Indeed, CNS has it that we derive from three-dimensional universes that self-reproduced without any four-dimensional beings around, which is why this apparent absence got evolutionarily conserved. Since the four-dimensional beings got evolutinarily dependent on us, they will make backups of our entire life on Earth, including body, brain and skills. Given that they cannot interfere, they will bring a repaired copy of us to a place in the multiverse that cannot alter the evolutionarily conserved chain of events on Earth. If we happen to be so early that four-dimensional beings are really not around yet, we will be saved by five-dimensional beings. If these are not around either, it will be six-dimensional beings, and so on. In this way, the probability that we are not saved by any higher-dimensional being becomes infinitely small.

The same idea, along with new examples, is presented in another paper that is currently (now is November 2019) in press in the journal Symposion: Theoretical and Applied Inquiries in Philosophy and Social Sciences. It is called an Evolutionary Multiverse Argument Against Naturalism (EMAAN).
