And how could you actually determine if we’re actually in second 2, or actually in second 0 with knowledge/memories/sensory input which makes you think we’re in second 2?

At some point it does boil down to faith that we aren’t in that scenario/it isn’t what is occurring. Philosophically, it’s hard/impossible to fully logic our way out of this kind of problem.

You can’t, for a single point. My argument is that you don’t have consciousness for a single point. Thoughts take time, we have streams of consciousness.

If I can determine a current point (I argue I can), with memories, then remain conscious for let’s say 2 seconds, the chance of me being a Boltzmann brain already dropped to almost 0.

At any point you could say false memories were planted, but this assumes that I am only conscious in an instant, and merely remember previous states. Both research and my own experience seem to indicate it’s not this coherent, and we have a much longer instant of consciousness or ‘moment’.

A Boltzmann brain only makes sense for particular instants thermodynamically, coherency is as good as impossible
