This post just showed up on the front page of my LW feed for me. For more people interested on why Anthropics Reasoning isn’t magic, I’ve written a Baby’s Guide to Anthropics Reasoning yesterday that can hopefully shed more light on this topic. My aim is to use everyday, commonsensical topics to illustrate the inherent simplicity and power of this type of thinking, before people start applying it to more difficult, cosmic questions.
