    Supports→Applying Howson's ur-probability solution to the fine-tuning argument for the multiverse requires interpreting all probabilities from the perspective of a counterfactual epistemic agent unaware of their own existence.

    The fine-tuning argument for the multiverse involves the existence of life as old evidence.

    Just as the argument from fine-tuning for design, the argument from fine-tuning for the multiverse must come to terms with the problem that the existence of life is old evidence for us. If one applies Howson’s ur-probability solution to it, one must consistently interpret all the probabilities in equation \(\eqref{simplemult}\) as assigned from the perspective of a counterfactual epistemic agent who is unaware of her/his own existence. At least prima facie, it is unclear what background knowledg
