Abstract
Hartle and Srednicki have suggested that standard quantum theory does not favor our typicality. Here an alternative version is proposed in which typicality is likely, Eventual Quantum Mechanics. This version allows one to calculate normalized probabilities for alternatives obeying what I call the Principle of Observational Discrimination, that each possible complete observation or data set should uniquely distinguish one element from the set of alternatives.
