That’s seemingly quite a convincing reason why you can’t be born too early. But what occurs to me now is that the problem can be about where you are, temporally, in relation to other people. (So you were still born on the same day, but depending on the entire size of the civilization (m), the probability of you having n people precede you is nm⋅100%.)
Depending on how “anthropic problem” is defined, that could potentially be true either for all, or for some anthropic problems.
