Small world, I guess :) I knew I heard this type of argument before, but I couldn’t remember the name of it.
So it seems like the grabby aliens model contradicts the doomsday argument unless one of these is true:
We live in a “grabby” universe, but one with few or no sentient beings long-term?
The reference classes for the 2 arguments are somehow different (like discussed above)
