I'm fairly convinced that it means "Anthropics makes sense with one person for each moment - each person being very short (as measured by their time of existence)."
Me too
Thanks for the clarification. Although I wonder if one can make a serious sort of anthropic argument about size. one shouldn't expect to find to be a member of a large species since that means that there's less room for lots of observers of that type. So we should expect to be large enough to be able to discuss anthropic reasoning but not much larger.
