A very brief explanation of why I'm not concerned about Boltzmann Brains http://the-lagrangian.blogspot.com/2016/05/why-you-probably-arent-random.html …

@The_Lagrangian that's assuming boltzmann brains run on matter but it doesn't matter either way if you buy egan's dust hypothesis2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@allgebrah looking at dust theory quickly, it seems to be the simulation hypothesis, which is a separate issue1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@The_Lagrangian dust theory is the idea that a computation is unaware of continuity breaks in the hardware running it1 reply 1 retweet 4 likes -

@The_Lagrangian suspend a program, send its state over the internet, continue elsewhere, the program won't care dust is the extreme of this1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@The_Lagrangian you can even shuffle the execution steps around arbitrarily as long as the computation's internal arrow of time is preserved2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@The_Lagrangian this has some extremely interesting consequences but it's so much fun to figure out that I won't spoil it for now1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@The_Lagrangian but yes, while independent, it ties in well with the simulation hypothesis, it's only half as fun without it1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

@allgebrah@the_lagrangian has this idea ever been presented in a way that's comprehensible to normies? like the matrix is for brain in vat1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
