8374.221 - 8401.733 Lee Cronin

kind of like you know everyone's having a free lunch it's like saying it's like let's break all the laws of physics so a Boltzmann brain is this idea that in a long enough universe a brain will just emerge in the universe as conscious without and that neglects the causal chain of evolution required to produce that brain and this is where the computational argument really falls down because the computationist could say I can calculate the probability of a Boltzmann brain and I can and they'll give you a probability but I can calculate the probability of a Boltzmann brain zero
