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.
This paper uses historical, religious, philosophical, and scientific methods alongside cultural analysis to investigate simulation theory. It examines both pro and anti-simulation arguments before analyzing evidence and how technological developments impact the development of simulated worlds.
To do this we will need to say what we mean by "should", and we will need some way to estimate what sorts of simulations we might live in, if we live in a simulation. In this paper we will take "should" to simply mean satisfying the usual sort of human preferences.

Abstract In Reality+, David Chalmers suggests that it wouldn't be too bad if we lived in a computer simulation. I argue on the contrary that if we live in a simulation, we ought to attach a significant conditional credence to its being a small or brief simulation.
Despite some of our arguments being compatible with such a view, we show that the cost of simulating our environment and the possibility of recursive simulations indicate that in most realistic scenarios the odds are instead in favour of our living in base reality.
In this commentary, I’ll argue that we should very much hope we’re not living in a simulation. My worry is this: If we live in a simulation, we have excellent reason to doubt that there will be a tomorrow. We exist, perhaps briefly, at the whim of powerful entities whose kindness we have little reason to expect. 2. The Size Question.
