An interesting thing is that if we use “natural reference class”—that is I am selected only from observers who think about anthropics, when most of them have started thinking about anthropics in 1990s or later – that is, after Cold war has ended.
However, if nuclear war would happen during Cold war, it would target university centers, so there will be less anthropics-conscious people now. This, in my view, rebuilds “anthropic shadow”.
