Could you expand on this? Even without adopting something like string theory why couldn’t this be explained by early symmetry breaking and the usual weak anthropic reasoning? i.e. we need an universe where life was possible to make the argument about which symmetries matter. The universes with different symmetries couldn’t produce people to make that argument. I recognize there’s a certain similarity between weakly anthropic reasoning and the problems of string theory. The difference is that there seems to be far more evidence for symmetry breaking in the early universe and thermodynamic arguments for the same. (Even if supersymmetry seems to have been falsified by recent collider data)
