Quote from the introduction (emphasis mine) " Then it could be the case that the vast majority of minds like ours do not belong to the original race but rather to people simulated by the advanced descendants of an original race. It is then possible to argue that, if this were the case, we would be rational to think that we are likely among the simulated minds rather than among the original biological ones. Therefore, if we don’t think that we are currently living in a computer simulation, we are not entitled to believe that we will have descendants who will run lots of such simulations of their forebears. That is the basic idea. The rest of this paper will spell it out more carefully " To distill the above: It is possible that some people are simulations. Therefore it is likely we are simulations. Therefore if we don't think we are simulations, we are not entitled to believe our descendants will run simulations of people. Not sure if I even need to critique the logic behind that.
