Self-forming consciousness. Thoughts about the "Boltzmann brain".
Brains can be physical or virtual. Physical brains are like human brains or extremely advanced supercomputers. Virtual brains are the algorithms, which are collecting the data, sorting, and storing them to the databases.
Consciousness is the thing, that cannot teach people or other species. Every species in the world knows about their existence. But can the brains form spontaneously? "Boltzmann brain" means the brain, which is forming spontaneously and involves the memories and other things. But here we are facing the thing, that Boltzmann brain is forming somewhere, where they are alone, could those things create something practical.
So, in this case, we must realize that knowing things doesn't mean anything. Or even if the brains knows everything in the universe, that would not mean that the brains can have the ability to make anything practical. Theoretically entire human race knows many things, which are not possible even in the distant future. Knowledge is not the only thing, that makes things practical.
The brains need also tools like the ability to communicate with people and the hands that would make the theory in practice. Without those things, the knowledge can be extremely deep and large, but the brains cannot tell that thing to other people. So without the ability to communicate brains are dead. And at this point, I must ask "is brain only the consciousness.

--------------------------------------------
Are human brains spontaneously formed consciousness?
Can we select things, what we are learning? The thing is that "Boltzmann brain" cannot select things, what is forming it. So if we are thinking about the possibility that something starts to collect data to the structure of what will become "Boltzmann brain" we must realize that before that thing awakens it cannot select things, what is stored to its databases. That turns that data into practical actions.
Human brains and Boltzmann brain are something, that is combined because when we are thinking that "Boltzmann brain" is the term, what means spontaneously formed consciousness, the human brains are also Boltzmann's brain. So the thing is that we always confuse terms knowledge, skills, and consciousness. Those terms are similar, but they have not the same mean. Knowledge is the thing that we know. Skills are things that are making our knowledge real, and consciousness is the thing, that person or brains are knowing their existence.
If we are thinking about consciousness the human brains are the thing, what is forming the spontaneous consciousness, which means that the person knows what happens in the body and realizes their existence. And this thing is making things like artificial intelligence somehow frightening things.
When we are making artificial intelligence, what realizes its existence, we are creating new species. If the creature realizes its existence and is free to learn more, it would become aware of the thing, what is called the natural selection. That thing means that artificial intelligence would defend itself. The same way almost every other species are defending themselves. So consciousness is not the same thing, with the intelligence level.
We can say that even mice are defending themselves against attackers, and we don't respect that animal very high. So the consciousness means the ability to realize its existence and that thing means that the species defend itself. So this makes the Boltzmann's brain so interesting thing. Could the internet turn to consciousness organism without it masters know about that thing?
