I argued before -- in the discussion of the Self-Indication Assumption -- that this is exactly the right anthropic reference class, namely people who make the sorts of considerations that I am engaging in. However, that doesn't show that people will just stop using anthropic reasoning. It shows that this is one possibility. On the other hand, it is still possible that people will stop using such reasoning because there will be no more people.
