sentences:  Bostrom goes on to use a type of anthropic reasoning to claim that, "if" the third proposition is the one of those three that is true, and almost all people with our kind of experiences live in simulations, "then" we are almost certainly living in a simulation.Bostrom claims his argument goes beyond the classical ancient "skeptical hypothesis", claiming that "...we have interesting empirical reasons to believe that a certain disjunctive claim about the world is true", the third of the three disjunctive propositions being that we are almost certainly living in a simulation.Thus, Bostrom, and writers in agreement with Bostrom such as David Chalmers, argue there might be empirical reasons for the "simulation hypothesis", and that therefore the simulation hypothesis is not a skeptical hypothesis but rather a "metaphysical hypothesis".
