Trivially, if we prevent simulatees from using anthropic reasoning, or any method of self-location, then the only thing you’ll need to do to ensure your status as a nonsimulatee is to just self-locate every once in a while.
Doesn’t that protocol just allow some people to prove they’re not simulants, while doing little to aleiveate the real anguishes of being one; growing up in an immature low-tech society (with aging, disease and fear) and then dying before spreading out into the stars?
For a while, we’ve been exploring a similar question but more in the direction of pre-committing to giving simulants better lives, rather than just not bringing them into existence: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/NiN6fNXjnS9hMSB2C/principia-compat-the-potential-importance-of-multiverse
