No, there is no 'there' there; from my reading people like Island at his anthropic-principle.org site are applying the 'principle' in exactly the manner the originator of the idea, Carter himself, warned against.
Just a pragamtic filter for scientific objectivity distorted into an amazingly silly idea draped in 'shiny objects' for the easily distracted.

Agreed.  Island seems to be under the silly delusion that he can prove the universe specifically created us in order to increase entropy, thereby causing the universe to expand, which was the goal of the universe in creating us.

If you are saying, "Huh?"  I was too.
