it is actually conditional for me on what has lower Kolmogorov complexity: our universe which eventually self organizes us, intelligent observers, or an universe which eventually self organize a single intelligence that fills all of it and proceeds to do stuff like ‘imagining’ universes and otherwise be bored.
This depends on how you define Kolmogorov complexity of universes. The Turing machine that simulates all other Turing machines is not the best explanation for all nontrivial universes if you require the explanation to be empirical.
Yes, of course. I do think that there will be a formalization of KC that’s fairly language independent, though. Basically, KC is here as a form of Occam’s razor.
Also, the comparison between those 2 universe rules may directly yield the complexity difference, e.g. removal of rule leading to god-making. In any case I don’t think it’ll be possible to make any progress on this until superintelligence, which won’t need any of our insights. That is kind of depressing thought.

Do you think its the correct form of Occam’s razor? In other words, does Occam’s razor properly take a unique form?
