    by Nick Bostrom, Director, Future of Humanity Institute, Oxford University. Great job title!

    Quoted: This paper argues that at least one of the following propositions is true:

    (1) the human species is very likely to go extinct before reaching a “posthuman” stage;

    (2) any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history (or variations thereof);

    (3) we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation.

    Quoted: 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. A number of other consequences of this result are also discussed.
