Are You Living in a Computer Simulation?

tl;dr
Wanna sum it up for us?
Future humans could have to power to simulate the past, and the simulations would be conscious, we could be that simulation.
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.
I've decided that no.
Yeah, who the fuck cares. It's a nice theory, but it's useless. If we are living in a simulation, we're technically still living. In which case, we still have our own personal goals and troubles to care about.
i dont get it.
;-;
So, if they turn off the simulation it's the end of the world. Win.
Maybe thats why the mayans are extinct. Maybe they figured out the simulation, and the owners/creators have smited them, for figuring out this secret O:Quote:
