also the “ultimate self” isnt the best version of yourself that you can be, it’s just…. the most YOU you can be. 

dirk isn’t beyond redemption. if he stops being a fucking egomaniac for like 5 seconds and actually resolves to better himself, he still can. (but he probably wont, because he is convinced that he cannot become a better person.)

ascending to your “ultimate self” isn’t necessarily the “end” of ones personal growth, despite the name. in real life, you never stop being a person, and people can always change themselves. always

ROSE: It’s not about gaining additional power, so much as the gradual dissolving of the boundaries between your own awareness and that of your many doomed selves who perished in other timelines. 

 DIRK: Your Ultimate Self, that which is revealed when the mind’s partitions are stripped away, and all potentiality of who you are and what you could have been flow together.

these 2 quote basically say your ultimate self is you and all the alternate copies of yourself rolled up into one being
now remember, dirk’s alternate selves include lil hal, who later becomes lord english(i dunno if robots would count for this) and dave’s bro, who was possessed by lord english for presumably most of his life
it’s entirely possible that bro or lil hal got added into dirk’s ultimate self and took over
adding onto that, dirk’s powers in meat epilogue were literally those of a lord, dirk explicitly stating his power was to control people
The problem is, I think power like mine can only make antagonistic intent unavoidable. Who could wield such control over people’s choices and the course of events without ultimately becoming the enemy of anyone who notices?
despite him being a prince, the class associated with the word destroy, while lord is the class associated with the word control

I literally just posted about this, but considering Dave’s ultimate self explicitly includes absorbing Davepeta memories, lifetimes etc, I think it’s pretty safe to say that Dirk absorbed some Lord English/Doc Scratch etc.

That would mean that dirk would have near omnipotence of doc scratch
