An aside for Nick Bostrom:

I belive we must apply anthropic reasoning not to people - they don't exist
objectively - but to thoughts.

An interesting point is that all thoughts about anthropic reasoning include
something along the lines of , 'this is a thought about anthropic
reasoning'. Why is this very current thought of yours (or observer moment,
if you like) a thought about anthropic reasoning? The SSA implies that
thoughts about anthropic reasoning make up a high proportion of all the
thoughts in the multiverse...
