I find the idea of a Boltzmman brain ridiculous. It is impossible for a random interactions of particles form such complexity. I find Lee Cronin's assembly index a great argument against this. Complex things such as living organisms, and brains, contain as integral part of themselves time. Not just time, as in infinite time, but evolutionary time.




No it is not. A bunch of pixels that form an image has nothing to do with stuff that was generated by evolution. Brains don't get assembled just by pushing together atoms or molecules at random, the evolved over eons going through a lot of intermediate stages.
