In order to understand the simulation argument, Bostrom presents us with a few premises to work with. He begins his theory by discussing how an advanced “posthuman” society might go about developing an artificial human mind. In this scenario, posthumans are types of super beings who have managed to extend their cognitive and physical capabilities beyond limits that we would consider normal. Posthumans might be able to live longer than us, or have better control over their emotions.
