I don't think that's actually a problem with the Boltzmann brain concept; I think it's just a reason why we don't want it to be the actual representation of reality.

I've chosen not to care; if I'm a BB, or even just a character in a simulation, my life and choices still have meaning to me -- whatever I actually am -- and that's what I've decided is important.

I mean the more interesting part to me is that probability comes into play: consider the age you live in. If you get to a historically conventional age for dying of old age, but then boom clinical immortality comes along, well that would feel technologically appropriate and yet be awfully convenient timing.

I'll be happy if it happens, but squint-eyes a little that it did.
