My theory: something happens to prevent the infinitely protracted heat death of the universe From taking up much probability space. For example, the simulation is turned off because it has become boring. Or, someone figures out how to abundantly create new universes in states of low entropy, meaning that states before such creation are far more likely than states after such creation. Or, we’re wrong about how probability measure works over conscious observers, and Boltzmann brains are actually exponentially unlikely.
It’s not like we know this is a real problem; it’s merely a case where our theoretical physics gives a crazy result when pushed too far. We know there are places where our understanding breaks down, and this is one of them.
