    Hence the first and only commandment of Last Thursdayism: Don’t Panic.

  And the fun scientific counterpart of the Boltzmann brain. The idea that in an infinite universe (at least in a couple of the spatial dimensions if not also a time dimension) random fluctuations could combine to form your brain. Including all of your memories, thoughts, hopes and dreams. You think you have had an entire life, but in reality your brain was just formed moments ago. And it may possibly stop existing in a few more moments, this moment being the only one the brain has actually experienced.

  When taken to its natural conclusion, the entire Earth of even the solar system or galaxy might have just been created by random chance. The perfect storm of randomness. It may have been created longer ago or just nanosecond before now. There is no way of telling.

  Thermodynamics has been used to counter and strengthen this idea. And with infinity on the table anything goes.

    I always found the idea of stable Boltzmann brains fascinating. The idea that on an infinite enough universe, there must exist self-sustaining minds that function on an entirely circumstantial set of rules and logic based on whatever the quantum soup spit up.

    A moment in which I sit on the toilet and read philosophy on my fondleslab and perhaps make this comment. Really a wild thought

  “God did it to trick you” is pretty hard to disprove

    It’s also hard to argue while also claiming your god is moral, which is why creationists usually scapegoat the task of planting fossils to Satan.

    Anything that is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

  It’s an ad hoc argument. You can’t argue against any ad hoc arguments with logic
