I agree with the argument conditional on us not being fundamentally confused about anthropics, but as with most of these sorts of arguments, most of my uncertainty is coming from what is meant by “reference class” and “observer”. I have the nagging feeling that all of anthropics stems from us not being able to properly define what an observer actually is. And I think it’s possible that observers actually don’t exist and we’re completely confused about all of this.
