I think there's an even more interesting implication of Boltzmann brains. The non-local universe is infinite in both time and space and when you're dealing with infinities of time and space two axioms become true. Everything that can occur has to occur and nothing can occur only once. So if intelligent life was able to form in our local universe we would have to assume higher intelligence spontaneously arose, AKA Boltzmann brains, in the non-local universe and exists infinitely.

That's not true. The expansion of Pi is infinite, but that doesn't mean you can find every string of numbers in it, I believe that's still an open question. Just because you have an infinity, doesn't mean it contains everything an infinite amount of times. The Cantor set is a good example.
