Agreed, I think that’s a good reason. It’s related to the reason I don’t think I am a Boltzmann brain—most Boltzmann brains don’t have the memory that they exist due to evolutionary processes, since brains with that memory are an extremely small sector of all possible Boltzmann brains. And so it seems like the simplest explanation for me having that memory is that evolution actually happened (since the B-brain explanation is kind of wild). Though I haven’t thought super carefully about this and would like to hear other’s thoughts.
Because most Boltzmann brains are so ephemeral they would instantaneously collapse.

If you’re a Boltzmann brain, that chain of reasoning becomes suspect, since you may not have actually made it at all and only believe you’ve made it.
