Do you see anything wrong about this explanation for the fine-tuning of the physical constants?
Explanation:
1) The singularities of black holes are regions of spacetime that have become disconnected from our own.
2) These regions effectively act as their own universes.
3) Once it has evolved sufficient technological capabilities, intelligent life can influence the way in which black holes are formed.
4) This life will influence the creation of black holes in ways that create universes like the ones they find themselves in.
5) This creates a selective pressure for universes to evolve physical constants capable of supporting intelligent life.
[A more detailed explanation as to why I think the universe is a living system:
Links supporting your answer would be appreciated :)
Bleh, I hate when I only get kids answering.
Why (3) is sensible: Black holes are just configurations of mass and energy. You can influence this configuration by controlling the way materials are added to it. This is not technologically feasible now, but it is not that difficult of a concept to wrap your head around.
(4) is common sense. If you had the option to either create a universe with the potential capability of bringing you back to life or one that had no such potential, which would you choose?
(5) is simply pointing out what the previous assumptions lead to.
If (1) - (4) are correct, then the fact of the matter is that there is a selective pressure for the laws of physics in each baby universe to develop in a way beneficial for intelligent life to exist.

yes
Its complete rubbish
3) assumes intelligent life will a) develop technology- AND b) would be able to influence the way black holes are formed
You have absolute NO reason OR evidence to assume a) or b)
4) is a follow on from 3) and again you have absolutely no reason to assume this
5) This is stupid
THIS asserts that universe controls its own development
It dont- it follows the physcial laws that exist, the universe will develop following those laws whether or not there is a creature (intelligent or not) to observe its development
(i.e it dont control how it develops - the laws control its development, and it will continue that development whether there is anything to observe it or not)
Think what you like but its pointless adding a link as to WHY you think that way, cos its of no interest to me
The internet is full of stupid sites just waiting to stupid/gullible people to read them
