    Physically, only a finite amount of information fits in a given volume (e.g. your skull) before it collapses into a black hole. Among all possible configurations of information within that volume, some set of configurations is going to be the worst. So it can’t always get worse.

    Though if you’re talking about your experience, then yes things can always get worse by lifting the restriction that it has to be “your experience”. Whatever criteria you use to define “your experience”, your worst possible experience will bend the boundaries of those criteria to find near-inhuman levels of suffering.
