We have no evidence that we are randomly distributed over some population of universes, but that doesn't stop misguided philosophers from assuming that. I didn't assert infinite universes; rather the opposite. It's reasoning like this that is asserting other universes. One thing is certain; ours is super weird and has definitely produced self-aware apes in a long series of evolutionary accidents on a single planet.
What's more interesting is whether our universe can be described by finite information (closed formulae or not, even a stupidly huge but finite trace of all quantum events would suffice). If it's finite information then its description is encoded in every transcendental number in mathematics--which is an infinite number, including the number pi.
Don't trifle with infinity. I wasn't.
