Satisfaction need not be directly related to size or quantity, even if it
turns out that maximal pleasure is. You could just decide at some point to
be perfectly satisfied with what you have, in which case it won't worry you
that your neighbour's brain is ten times the size of your own. I think
advanced beings would come to a decision to stop growing, or at least slow
down at some point, even if only because they will otherwise eventually come
into conflict with each other.
