Merger[edit]
I suggest that Self-indication assumption and self-sampling assumption be merged together into a single page (say, called "Self-indication and self-sampling assumptions"). These terms are strongly connected to a single source, Nick Bostrom, and it is not very productive to discuss them separately. Jess (talk) 15:17, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- Given that there is only one source and the concepts aren't being widely adopted, I suggest that rather than merging these pages together, they should both be merged to the book in which they were proposed: Anthropic Bias (book). Klbrain (talk) 17:46, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
- Changed proposal to new target; discussion continues at Talk:Anthropic Bias (book)#Merge
Schools of probability[edit]
This article and Self-sampling assumption both call the principles "schools of probability." I think what is meant is that they are schools of thought concerning probability. And even so, it is a little clumsy to call a principle a "school". Better to say there are two schools of thought, one which accepts the self-sampling assumption and the other which accepts the self-indication assumption. Omphaloscope talk 13:56, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
