From where I’m sitting, it looks like death should not be the end in that case.
You can’t perceive the passage of time when you are dead, so you’re just going to experience dying and then immediate rebirth after the countless eons pass for that rare moment where entropy spontaneously reverses to form your mind again.
Real question is if a Boltzmann brain can really even exist or if it’s just an antiquated mechanical materialist view on consciousness inconsistent with dialectical materialism.
I wasn’t even thinking about the Boltzmann brain scenario, I was just considering the chance that literally everything could reform like this as we take time out to infinity, all slightly different permutations too
There’s no physical reason why they can’t, but there are good reasons to think that the punchline of the original thought experiment–that they are overwhelmingly more likely than “regular” brains–isn’t right.
