The universe “being inside” some kind Boltzmann brain isn’t a new idea, entire idea is the foundation of the Dharmic faiths as well as many of the early Gnostic sects, various other pagan views etc. I mean this is still essentially the view (at least in theology) of the Roman Catholics, entire idea of “Heaven” or an “afterlife” was invented as a kind of white lie in order to get illiterate peasants & normies to commit to what the Faustian mind is going see as a lesser of two evils at best. The Protestants etc have rolled with this to the point their entire religion became the foundation for modern materialism, ideological liberalism & other post-enlightenment trends (ie Marxism, Anarchism & a chunk of the third position of politics). The idea God being an actual conscious person you could a relationship with & “Heaven” being this physical place and the entire concept of salvation through faith are all cancers of modernity, the illiterate peasant equivalent of being told your old, sick cancer ridden dog was sent out to a Merry England style farm as a young child.

That aside though yeah, this is something people have understood for a very long time, it’s just now that agnostics, atheists, materialists & “Science!” cultists are being forced to acknowledge it.

>at least in theology
In high theology, rather. Low theology is like low politics, It isn’t worth paying attention to any trend as it’s totally dominated by inner & outer tracks of Taqiya.
