EDT double-counting can be resolved by foregoing the anthropic update (with a variant of minimum-reference-class SSA called “L-zombie anthropics”). However, this fix leads to other strange consequences and is IMO philosophically suspicious.
Can you say more about the strange consequences and unsatisfactoriness, or link to a discussion on this point? My current understanding was that antrhopics, and the concept of probabilities in general, are a lossy abstraction, and the double-counting problem is easily resolved just by not updating. I’m probably missing something here.
