On a related note, in a previous thread I think you said that certain axioms needed to derive Bayesian probability seemed sort of iffy to you. I was wondering, is it possible to connect Bayes' anthropic weirdness problems to any axioms in particular?

I wrote a post about that. Is it what you're looking for?

Wow, thanks! I'd never seen that post for some reason. (ETA: Apparently I had in fact seen it and remembered the comments, but not the post... scumbag brain.)

(This is another cool post from 2009 that I didn't see until a year ago.)

Which paper was linked in the first sentence of that post? The link is broken now.
