The logic is faulty.
"It follows that the belief that there is a significant chance that we will one day become posthumans who run ancestor-simulations is false, unless we are currently living in a simulation. "
This doesn't make sense.
If future humans will create a simulation, there will still be humans.
This means that there are past humans.
If there are past humans, why wouldn't we potentially be these past humans?
The logic is totally faulty.
It is a possibility, yes, but that doesn't mean it is more likely than not true.
