Self-sampling most definitely gives strength to the Doomsday Argument. 
The fact that I find myself as an individual in pre-Singularity 
existence is a very troubling observation, particularly given the 
assumption that there should be far more post-Singularity individuals 
than in a pre-Singularity civ. It also indicates that the most probable 
observation of a civ is pre-Singularity and not post, a possible 
indicator that there are no post-Singularity civs.

Cheers,
George
