There were real activist groups worried about black hole production. To my mind this is comparable to flat earthers.
At some point if the coins have landed constantly in a particular direction we would have done an inductive reasoning of the pattern and just called it a law. In order for the occurence to be “anamolous” we need some theory of what “should” have happened. So why are we more confident in the inductive reasoning of that “should” law over the apparent “coinflip law” (and how can we tell them appart)?
Many worlds does not say that anything can happen, it has proportions to the chances.
Wrong coin flips don’t normally destroy the observer, but if you keep winning in the (guaranteed to kill but not maim if you lose) Russian roulette, then it would be evidence for MWI. This is endlessly discussed online and in literature, by the way.
I get that having a strong anthropic effect suggest there is something going on. It is not immidietly obvious to me that it favours MWI in particular. Would it or why would it not favour the hypotheses that you are gods chosen protagonist?
I am assuming in that the russian roulette the guns works “correct”, that there is no violation of orderliness in the physical causation. The scenario where I am imagining “coin flips run out” is like gravity just stops because gravity was just a very big coincidence of quantum improbability. I could see that “world selection” could be meanigful in tippping points but if one is to extract whole structures and mechanics that is a way stingier bullet to swallow.
