What if you are already in a metaverse?

Actually you are a spider monkey wearing goggles and trained to think it is a human being in the human world via haptic audio-visual feedback mechanism's. Would you be happy or disappointed?

I'm afraid reframing the question as a perverse answer gets you no closer. Abandon all hope. Your search is futile... :crumple:

95% of all possible humans have already been born.
... Denoting by N the total number of humans who were ever or will ever be born, the Copernican principle suggests that any one human is equally likely (along with the other N − 1 humans) to find themselves at any position n of the total population N, so humans assume that our fractional position f = n/N is uniformly distributed on the interval [0, 1] prior to learning our absolute position.

f is uniformly distributed on (0, 1) even after learning of the absolute position n. That is, for example, there is a 95% chance that f is in the interval (0.05, 1), that is f > 0.05. In other words, we could assume that we could be 95% certain that we would be within the last 95% of all the humans ever to be born. If we know our absolute position n, this argument implies a 95% confident upper bound for N obtained by rearranging n/N > 0.05 to give N < 20n...
