• “Dr. Bostrom assumes that technological advances could produce a computer with more processing power than all the brains in the world, and that advanced humans, or" posthumans, "could run" ancestor simulations "of their evolutionary history by creating virtual worlds inhabited by virtual people with fully developed virtual nervous systems.”

  Lee Schneider: Living in Sim

• “As Dr. Bostrom, director of the Future Of Humanity Institute at Oxford (how do you get that gig?) put it: technological advances could produce a computer with more processing power than all the brains in the world, and that advanced humans, or "posthumans," could run "ancestor simulations" of their evolutionary history by creating virtual worlds inhabited by virtual people with fully developed virtual nervous systems.”

• “How can know whether we're simulations in some superduper computer built by posthumans?”

• “The SA essentially states that, given the potential for posthumans to create a vast number of ancestor simulations, we should probabilistically conclude that we are in a simulation rather than the deepest reality.”

• “If we accept that the Head-Beings are either aliens or super-advanced posthumans from some earlier human culture, I'd say it was more likely it was them who terraformed the planets.”
