Brains

I recently stumbled across the Boltzmann Brain concept which I have to say I'm not a big fan of. Why brains? It should be called the Boltzmann supercomputer paradox. Why supercomputers? Maybe since the paradox is concerned with things that are highly ordered, it should be the diamond paradox since that is an incredibly ordered material. The irony is that the paradox attempts to question an anthropomorphic view of the universe by using a flawed anthropomorphic example. My two cents.

Wha?

Bet you can't say "anthropomorphic" three times real fast.

ps: Dave, I'm been lovin' your blogs.

Yeah man!

anthropomorphic! anthropomorphic! anthropnmsoiudfskj!! Arghhh.

So, our brains simply made up the order in the universe? Hmmm.
