Anthropic shadow says “no” because, conditioned on them having any use for the information, they must also have survived the first round.
And it is wrong because the anthropic principle is true: we learned that N ≠ 1.
I need to think about formalizing this.
There is the idea of Anthropic decision theory which is related, but I’m still guessing it still has no shadow.
Fair, but no more. And any additional survival doesn’t teach us anything else. All meaningful information only reaches us once we have no more use for it.
