After giving an overview of the cosmological problem relating to axionic dark matter, I will discuss the possibility of an anthropic resolution of this puzzle. I will lay out a concrete operational definition of what it would mean for anthropic reasoning to constrain the amount of dark matter per baryon. I derive the simplest quantitative anthropic bound coming from constraints on galaxy formation and show that it is somewhat higher than what we observe. I will also discuss some more detailed effects of structure formation whose incorporation may improve the bound substantially.
