An implicit assumption here is that alien civilizations have an observation weight of zero.
If complex space-faring civilizations have spread across the galaxy to produce lots of observers capable of anthropic reasoning, why aren't we in one?
If they don't, doesn't that just reframe the Filter? Technological evolution into Blindsight-style Scramblers sure sounds like extinction to me.
