This strikes me as very similar to the simulation argument. That is most beings probably exist in simulations, and therefore you are far more likely to exist in a simulation than be a living person. Or similar anthropic arguments could be made about many things. You are more likely to be living in a bigger country, you are more likely to be living in the period of time where Earth's population is the largest, etc.
