Essentially the only consistent low-level rebuttal to the doomsday argument is to use the self indication assumption (SIA).
What about rejecting the assumption that there will be finitely many humans? In the infinite case, the argument doesn’t hold.
But in the finite case it supposedly does. See least convenient possible world.
Similarly, physics as I know it prohibits an infinite number of humans. This world is inconvenient.
Still, I do think R0k0′s point would be enough to discourage the absolute claim of exclusivity quoted.
This is a bit off-topic, but are you the same person as Roko? If not, you should change your name.
