The problem with these kinds of theories (eternal recurrence, random quantum state fluctuations, simulation):
- There are plenty of things that aren't computable that our universe seems to do just fine (entropy being one)
- The universe seems to be intelligible, especially w.r.t. its causal chain -- if we only happen to be conscious in these very specific instants (where we have intelligibility, causality, etc.), the question is why?
At the end of the day, you end up with some kind of Maxwell's demon type of situation where there's all this trickery that needs to happen to support a theory where we're in a simulation or Boltzmann brains.
