I'd see myself as the hermitt type as well.
But even tough there are so much things to study and discover, boredom is indeed the main risk. And humans are so interesting to observe, it'd be a pity to see them dissapear.

Pak Protector approach (sans the behavioral hardwiring and radical physical transformation), with an expanded intellect and near invulnerability, I think I could fathom looking after Homo Sapiens for some million years.
I'm just not sure if I could do with the consequences of genetic drift on this timescale. Periodic archiving and reboot maybe?
Hmm, I have a craving for yams now...
