The Simulation Theory presents the following trilemma, one of which must be true:
1. Almost all human-level civilizations go extinct before reaching a technologically mature “posthuman” stage capable of running high-fidelity ancestor simulations.
2. Almost no posthuman civilizations are interested in running simulations of their evolutionary history or beings like their ancestors.
3. We are almost certainly living in a computer simulation.
