If every intelligent creature in the universe wrote down “I am on a high-population planet” and then we zipped around with a spaceship to pick them all up, we would find most of the pieces of paper to be correct.
- choeger 5y agoYour second paragraph is absolutely correct, yet it leads to a circular argument, because it does not tell you anything about how correct your paper is. In fact, in that experiment, the probability of your paper being among the correct ones is the same quantity as the actual population density. You cannot derive any meaningful information from assuming you are above,about,or below average.
