I think supporters of the doomsday argument are saying you should consider all evidence, but the doomsday argument still stands. So we should use all the information available to make a prediction of the future and then, on top of all that, apply the doomsday argument so that the future looks bleaker. And that should be the case unless we find a logical error in the argument.
I think the error for the doomsday argument is to try and find an explanation for why I am this person, living in this time. It should be regarded as something primitively given, a reasoning starting point. Instead, it treated it as a sampling outcome. That is why I am against both SSA and SIA.
I see nothing grumpy here.
