How should have I titled this thread then? Not as a Boltzmann brain, but as err.....even more generalized I guess to include 'all brains' including man's/evolution's with the statistics. Of course when you factor the low entropy and evolution it makes man's brain and consciousness(s), or more apt "your consciousnesses" or one's own consciousness, much more likely than a true boltzmann brain.
