I have two questions:
Relative to the age of a universe, how wide is the time frame in
which life can emerge to realize it's at a special time in the universe?
and
What makes one think that the science and technology we would have
available in 100 billion years will be limited to the science we have
today that sees the limitations described? Perhaps by then we will have
mastered transdimensional travel. It reminds me of the sentiment, not
too long ago, before relativity, that claimed all the physics there was
had been discovered. But then I didn't pay the $32 to read the original
paper.

[...] there's another layer of complexity on top of that, namely that
we only recognize that there is an anthropic principle because we came
along at the right time.
