Shows that some faux thinkers have far too much time on their hands. Here I'll go with Shakespeare...I think, therefore...I am. One comment: "Thank you so much, Dr. Bostrom. You have proved that my psychiatrist was wrong all along." This would mean all of my orgasms and other miscellaneous kinky, sexual pleasures aren't really...a pleasure ? Think about it...all of those fucks, all of those stings, everything was just...a.....? Oh My !! ABSTRACT. 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. 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. Oh yea ? Tell me about it doctor.
