This makes the population at our stage a smaller proportion of the whole. (The populations at each stage are a function of the population per relevant solar system as well as the chance of a solar system reaching that stage, which is not illustrated here).https://meteuphoric.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/sia-doom-curves.pngsia doom curvesSIA likes possible worlds with big populations at our stage, which means small past filters, which means big
