Actually I'm surprised that there are *no* "populous" universes anywhere in the string landscape / level 4 multiverse (if such exist). Or perhaps it's more likely that there are, but their proportion is so much lower than our sort that the chances are still better to find oneself in a universe where the life of civilisations is either nasty, brutish and short, or involves us evolving into an "Childhood's End" style Overmind.
