Can we dismiss all anthropic reasoning by saying that probability is meaningless for singular events?
No, because it isn’t isn’t meaningless.
That is, the only way to obtain probability is from statistics
No, you can get it from mathematics. Even basic arithmetic. Infinite series of events, on the other hand, those are hard to come by.
, and I cannot run repeated experiments of when, where, and as what I exist.
I dismiss many examples of (bad) anthropic reasoning because they assume that that the probability of their subjective experience is what you get if you draw a random head out of a jar of all things that meet some criteria of self awareness.
Do you mean by subjective probability the fact(?) that probability is about the map and not the territory?
The frequentist dogma was the ‘contrary’ part, not the ‘maps/territory’ stuff. Probability doesn’t come from statistics and definitely applies to single events.

Kind of. Read Probability is subjectively objective

Statistics is, of course, one source of knowledge we can usefully apply in calculating probabilities.
