Ok. I watched the video. I still disagree with that, and I don’t think it’s arbitrary to prefer SSA to SIA. I think that follows necessarily from the consideration that you could not have noticed yourself not existing.
In any case, whatever you say about probability, being surprised is something that happens in real life. And if someone did the Sleeping Beauty experiment on me in real life, but so that the difference was between 1⁄100,000 and 1⁄2, and then asked me if I thought the coin was heads or tails, I would say I didn’t know. And then if they told me it was heads, I would not be surprised. That shows that I agree with the halfer reasoning and disagree with the thirder reasoning.
Whether or not it makes sense to put numbers on it, either you’re going to be surprised at the result or not. And I would apply that to basically every case of SSA argument, including the Doomsday argument; I would be very surprised if 1,000,000 years from now humanity has spread all over the universe.

As someone who actually experienced in real life how it feels to awake from artifical coma having multiple days without memory in the past, I think your naive intuition about what would surprise has no basis.
Being surprised happens at system I level and system I has no notion of having been in an artificial coma.
If system I has no notion of being in an artificial coma, then there is no chance I would be surprised by either heads or tails, which supports my point.
No, system I considers it’s model of the world that the time passed was just the time of a normal sleep between two days. Anything that deviates from that is highly surprising.

Yes, but if we have SB problems all over the place and were commonly exposed to them, what would our sense of surprise evolve to?
