Would you still have this complaint if I instead said that I care about the subset of universes which contain me following simplicity based preferences?
To me, at least as I see it now, there is no difference between saying that I care about all universes weighted by simplicity and saying that I care about all universes containing me weighted by simplicity, since my actions to not change the universes that do not contain me.
I am saying that my decision procedure is independent of those preferences, so there is no evolutionary disadvantage to having them. Does that address your issue?

In the post you described two universes that don’t contain you, and said you cared about the simpler one more. Or am I missing something?
