Under the revised assumption, the Doomsday Argument fails, and the paradoxes associated with the standard SSA are dispelled. We also consider the effects of the revised sampling assumpti...

A strong general restriction is given on the stable Hurewicz image of the classifying spaces of elementary abelian p-groups. In particular, this implies the iterated transfer analogue of the new doomsday conjecture.
