Can we really apply the anthropic principle so narrowly? Are we to conclude that my risk of death when crossing the street could be really high, and I can’t tell anything from the fact that it hasn’t happened because I wouldn’t be around to think about it if it had?
You can look at how often other people are hit by cars. You can also look at "close calls" where you were almost hit but miraculously saved.
But if you have personally walked into traffic without looking hundreds of times, I'd think you are just lucky. And that using your survival as a single data point is just survivorship bias.
