really the best of all possible worlds?



Given two equally good roads, the majority of drivers will pick the more crowded road...

... and of course I have fewer friends than my friends have on average.



So the following is not too surprising: We assume that we can assign a "quality of life" value Q to each world in the multiverse of all possible worlds, with Q=0 meaning "boring as hell" and Q->infinity meaning a world "approaching heaven". But then we either live most likely in a world of less quality than the average world - or the total Q grows (less than) linear with the sample size, which means the multiverse as a whole is of low quality...

The value of your home is most likely below the average in your area, otherwise you live most likley in a bad neighborhood 8-)
