  I’m sure this will come across as naïve or loony, but is anyone else here occasionally terrified by the idea that they might ‘wake up’ as a Boltzmann brain at some point, with a brain arranged in such a way as to subject them to terrible agony?

  I would expect that people would probably expect or even demand more justification, but I don’t think that the icy unfeeling mechanisms of the universe would sense significance in certain sentiments but not others; it would be a strange culture that thought nothing of murder but scrutinized everyone’s personal pie preferences, but I don’t see that as entirely impossible.
