Wei, that wouldn’t follow if there are such things as Death events; wiping out a planet would increase the average proportion of people who die. I’ve always found it hard to make the numbers add up on anthropics without Death events; then again, I’m starting to find it hard to make it add up even with death. Also, quantum immortality is not necessarily your friend, the worlds in which you survive may not be pleasant.
