It's the Doomsday Argument and I can see how you're applying the same logic.
Doesn't this logic also imply that solipsism is true? 1 observer is less than 7 billion observers and therefore more likely under the logic of the Doomsday argument.
- kkoncevicius 6y agoThank you for naming it, now I can see if there are criticism of the doomsday argument that also apply. And I do see how this can lead to solipsism. In particular when combined with "Self-Indication Assumption: The possibility of not existing at all" [1] . Solipsism would be a theory that explains both - the doomsday original argument and this criticism. But I haven't thought much about that.
