Imagine you're in a dark  room playing hide and seek,

and you've found what you  think is a really good spot.

You start to think this spot is so  good that nobody could ever find you.

But in reality, the only reason that nobody has  

found you yet is just that…  they haven't, but they will.

We're all here alive, living our lives,  because we've managed to avoid the big,  

But just because we've been lucky so far doesn't  mean those scary things aren't out there.

The concept of the "Anthropic Shadow"  is a critical and thought-provoking idea  

introduced by Nick Bostrom. It refers to  an observation selection effect that skews  

our understanding of catastrophic  events' frequency and severity.

Essentially, it suggests that humanity's current  existence imposes a bias on our ability to observe  

and evaluate the true likelihood of  existential or catastrophic events.
