Is there a way out of the Matrix?

Question from the Internet:

“What would you do and what would happen to society if we somehow proved that we live in a simulation?”

If we knew, if we proved that we live in a simulation we would immediately have many questions related to it.

If we live in a simulation, what and where is the true reality? If we live in a simulation who or what placed us in there and for what purpose? If we live in a simulation why did we also get a unique intellect that can find out and realize that we live in a simulation? If we live in a simulation and there is a different, true reality perhaps there is a way we can disconnect from the simulation and find that reality?

Is it not similar to what the Matrix films tried to explore?

Now we have unique, empirical natural scientists who have been studying human nature compared to the Natural system we live in for millennia. And they say that indeed, we live in a simulation that is created and governed by our own inherent nature. The world we see and experience is a construct of our inherently egocentric, subjective consciousness and perception.

Of course, we did not create and install our own, inherent nature, evolution did. Thus Natural evolution placed us into this “self-made” simulation while also giving us a unique human mind and intellect to enquire about it and find out that we are trapped in the Matrix.

These unique scientists did not only recognize this seemingly hopeless state, but they also found a way of disconnecting from the Matrix of our own egos to find and experience the true reality “outside of ourselves”. They also gave us a practical method of finding our way out, with each other’s help, through each other.

We can get to true reality, outside of the simulation projected and sustained by our egos by “abandoning” our original, limited and distorted egocentric and subjective consciousness and perception of reality through dissolving into the desires, thoughts and viewpoints of others.

This unique method and the chance to exist outside of the simulation is open and available for everybody here and now. And when we start exploring reality outside of the “Matrix of the ego” we will find all the answers to all the questions above.
