I’m still having trouble understanding your point. I think there is good reason to think the brain does not in fact have any beliefs. Beliefs, as we understand them, are produced by certain sorts of interactions between brains and environments. The Boltzmann brain’s brain states are not attributable to interactions of that sort, so they are not beliefs. Does that help, or am I totally failing to get what you’re saying?

But wouldn’t a Boltzmann brain understand its “beliefs” the same way, despite them not corresponding to reality?
