Consciousness is simply an illusion emergent of a Boltzmann brain configuration....

RE: Consciousness is simply an illusion emergent of a Boltzmann brain configuration....
There's no way to test this type of hypothesis in any measurable way with current technology, so I don't really see how it's beneficial to be theorizing whether it is right or wrong. Even if you make a solid argument for why it's correct, you're not tipping the scale in any direction. Claiming this is correct before being able to test the hypothesis is essentially falsifying arguments that have yet to be presented. That's not how science works, and that is not a scientific conclusion.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.
